Men's Basketball Looks to Snap Drought at Tulsa Tuesday
2.15.21 | Men's Basketball
TULSA, Okla. - Looking to snap a four-game losing streak, Temple men's basketball heads to the only site in the American Athletic Conference it has never won, the Donald W. Reynolds Center, to take on Tulsa Tuesday night (7 pm ET/ESPNU/1210 AM WPHT).
The Owls (4-8, 3-8 AAC) have lost all six meetings at Tulsa, including five encounters as conference foes. The closest Temple has come to Tulsa on the road in AAC play is 16 points, 55-39 defeat on Feb. 22, 2015.Â
Scouting TempleÂ
> Redshirt freshman Damian Dunn continues to lead the Owls in scoring (13.8 ppg) despite not scoring a point while hampered by a knee injury at Cincinnati. He played only 12 minutes in the contest.Â
> Sophomore Khalif Battle, who leads all DI reserves in minutes per game (28.9), is the only other TU player scoring in double figures (10.3ppg). Â
> Junior Jake Forrester, who tops the team in rebounding (6.4) and field goal percentage (.556/4th AAC), and freshman Jeremiah Williams, who is fourth in the AAC in assists (4.3), are close behind at 9.7 and 9.0 ppg.
> Senior captains De'Vondre Perry (8.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg) and J.P. Moorman II (7.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg) round out the Cherry and White starting five while grad transfer Brendan Barry (7.3 ppg), who tied his season high with 17 points at Cincinnati, tops the Owls and is third in the AAC in three-point percentage (.451).
