PHILADELPHIA - Riding a five-game win streak, including marquee victories against #10/10 Kansas and defending NCAA Champion UConn, the Temple men's basketball team is starting to garner national attention.
In the latest Associated Press poll released today, the Owls received 33 votes, which would tie them for 31st overall. Â The USA Today Coaches Poll has Temple with two votes.
The Owls are looking to crack the Top 25 for the first time since March 5, 2012 when the team was ranked #21 by the Associated Press and #24 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Â
