2.27.22 | Women's Basketball
PHILADELPHIA - The Temple women's basketball team is trying to break its three-game losing streak when it travels to Dallas, Texas to take on the SMU Mustangs on Monday, Feb. 28 at 8:00pm ET on ESPN+. The matchup will be the first of two games within three days for the two sides.
LAST GAME
> The Temple women's basketball team suffered its third consecutive loss on Saturday afternoon, falling to the Tulane Green Wave by the score of 71-56.
> After trailing for the majority of the first half, the Owls got off to a hot start to begin the second half, as they took the lead with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter.
> Poor shooting by Temple down the strecth allowed the Green Wave to regain the lead and hold on for the win.
> Mia Davis: game-high 25 points and 11 rebounds on 9-16 shooting
> Emani Mayo: 10 points and five rebounds
THE OWLS
> The Owls enter the game on a losing streak having lost their past three games to UCF, Houston, and Tulane. This is the second time this season that Temple has lost three straight games.
> Forward Mia Davis recorded her 13th 20-plus point game of the season in the last game against Tulane while continuing to lead the conference in points per game.
> Graduate guard Emani Mayo had one of her best games of the season scoring-wise as Mayo put up 10 points to go along with five rebounds.
> The Cherry & White enter today's game limiting their opponents from scoring behind the arc, ranking fourth in the conference in three-point field goal percentage defense.
SCOUTING SMU
> SMU enters Monday's matchup on a losing streak of its own having lost its previous two contests.
> The Mustangs are led by Savannah Wilkinson and Jasmine Smith. Wilkinson nearly averages a double-double as she leads the team in points per game (14.3) and rebounds per game (9.9). Smith leads the team in assists per game and blocked shots per game.
> The Mustangs take care of the basketball extremely well as SMU ranks second in the AAC in fewest turnovers.
LAST TIME THEY MET
> The last time that these teams met, the Temple women's basketball team opened American Athletic Conference play with a decisive 73-57 victory over visiting SMU at McGonigle Hall.
> The win improved the Owls to 1-4 overall with a 1-0 start in the AAC. SMU dipped to 0-6, 0-2 in the AAC.
> Temple used a late first quarter run to take a lead it would not relinquish.
> SMU hung around, staying within three at the half.
> A huge third quarter saw the Owls outscore the Mustangs 24-6 putting the game mostly out of reach.
> The Owls then held off some late fourth quarter pressure from SMU to seal the win.
> Temple held SMU to just 28% shooting, while holding a 50-43 rebounding edge.
UP NEXT
> The Owls stay in Dallas for a second road matchup with the SMU on Wednesday, Mar. 2 at 8:00pm ET. The regular season finale for the Owls is scheduled to air on ESPN+.
