1.25.16 | Men's Basketball
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - After his career and record-setting performance in leading Temple men's basketball to an 89-80 upset of previously undefeated and eighth-ranked SMU, senior guard Devin Coleman has been named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week. The honor is the first-ever for Coleman, who was named to the conference's weekly honor roll earlier this season.
In the SMU win, Coleman shot a perfect 8-of-8 from the field including 7-of-7 from beyond the arc, finishing with a career and game-high 23 points. His three-point shooting effort tied the school record for 3-point percentage in a game set by Pepe Sanchez on Feb. 16, 1997. With the win, Temple moved to 5-2 in league play and into a tie for second place in American Athletic Conference standings. In the Owls' other game of the week, a 62-49 win at La Salle, Coleman scored six points and tied his season high with six rebounds.
Next up for Temple is a 7 p.m. game at East Carolina on Wednesday, Jan. 27 (ESPN3 / 1210 AM WPHT).
