Jordan was also named Philadelphia BIG 5 Player of the Week.
Jordan connected on 14-of-17 free throws, including seven of eight in the last two minutes of the game to allow Temple to garner a 71-60 win over #22 Rutgers. The senior is currently shooting 71% from the line. The previous record of 14 free throws, held by Mimi Carroll vs. Maryland has stood untouched for 18 years.
