PHILADELPHIA – Junior Nate Pierre-Louis was named the American Athletic Conference and Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week for the week ending November 10. It is the second AAC Player of the Week honor for the Owls guard and the first Big 5 weekly accolade.
The Plainfield, N.J native (Roselle Catholic) averaged 17.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg., 4.5 rpg., 5.5 spg., 1.0 bpg. in leading Temple to a 2-0 week.

The 6-4 guard posted his second straight double-double of the season, 19 points and 11 rebounds, to lead Temple to a 75-57 win over visiting Morgan State (Nov. 9). He also had six assists in the contest.
Temple (2-0) next travels to La Salle (1-0) on Saturday (2 pm/ESPN+/1210 AM WPHT).
