LAST GAME
> The Temple women's basketball team won their third game in a row on Wednesday night over the East Carolina Pirates, 56-41. The Owls ended the second period on a 13-2 run to take a 15-point advantage heading into the second half, and never looked back from there.
> Midway through the fourth quarter, Temple stretched its lead to 21 points and coasted the rest of the way for the victory.
> Mia Davis: game-high 15 points and five rebounds
> Alexa Williamson: 14 points and six rebounds
> Jasha Clinton: 10 assists
THE OWLS
> The Owls are coming off a Wednesday night win against East Carolina which saw them improve their conference record to 3-0.
> Davis leads the conference in points per game, minutes per game, and field goal percentage this season. Davis is averaging 20.0 points per game in conference play so far.
> Williamson is averaging 14.7 points per game and 6.7 rebounds per game in conference play. Williamson is also among the conference leaders in blocked shots per game.
> Guards Clinton and Aniya Gourdine lead the backcourt for the Owls as both guards score more than 7.0 points per game. Clinton is third in the conference in assists per game, recording two games with 10 assists.
SCOUTING SOUTH FLORIDA
> South Florida comes into this game having won a tightly-contested contest against Tulsa on Wednesday, winning 66-63.

LAST TIME THEY MET
> Temple battled #13 South Florida until the very end, falling 56-47 on Wednesday, Feb. 24, 2021 at McGonigle Hall.

> The Bulls caught fire in the final quarter, reeling off 21 points on 50% (5-10) shooting to propel them to victory.
> The Owls were out-rebounded on both ends of the floor, with USF picking up 17 offensive rebounds over the course of the game.
> Davis and Clinton led the way for the Owls, scoring 23 and 20 points, respectively. Clinton knocked down four three-pointers to lead all players beyond the arc.
> Emani Mayo grabbed nine rebounds, including two key offensive boards in the fourth quarter to keep Temple alive.
