Last Time Out

Temple opened Big 5 play with a dominant 90–63 win over La Salle at the Liacouras Center, improving to 2–0 on the season.
The Owls hit the ground running with a 14–2 first-half run fueled by an assertive start from Aiden Tobiason, who scored 10 points during that stretch.
The Owls led by 13 at halftime and blew the game open early in the second half behind strong defensive pressure and transition scoring, stretching the margin to as many as 35.
Derrian Ford powered the attack with a team-high 22 points, one shy of his career best.
Tobiason (16), Gavin Griffiths (15), Jordan Mason (15), and AJ Smith (10) rounded out a balanced scoring effort.
Babatunde Durodola posted a career-high five assists as Temple totaled 20 assists on 34 made field goals, its most assists in a game since the 2022–23 season.
The Owls shot 50% from the field and 50% from three against a La Salle defense that entered the night ranked 15th nationally in three-point percentage allowed.
The bench added 24 points, with Connor Gal, Cam Wallace, and Jamai Felt all scoring their first points as members of Temple.
Now 2–0, the Cherry & White turn their attention to Boston College as they look to start 3–0 for the third straight season.
