Men's Basketball Runs Past Holy Family, 110-81
12.10.24 | Men's Basketball
PHILADELPHIA - Sophomore Zion Stanford led six Temple men's basketball players in double figures with a career-high 25 points, and the Owls eclipsed the 100-point mark for just the 23rd time in program history in a 106-80 victory over Holy Family at Liacouras Center on Tuesday. The 110 points scored ties for the third-most in Temple single-game history, and is the most since the Owls scored 110 points in a game against Duquesne on February 4, 1988.
