Temple finished the regular season against Central Florida on Monday night. In the first matchup of the season between the teams, the Owls defeated the Knights 66-60 in Orlando, Florida.
With the win, Temple (23-6, 13-3) locked up the second seed in the American Athletic Conference Tournament. The Owls will play the winner of the the Cincinnati and Houston game in the tournament on Saturday in Uncasville, Connecticut.
“It is a totally different season now, it’s tournament time,” coach Tonya Cardoza said. “Every team knows it’s win or go home now, so it doesn’t matter what seed we are we have to go out and play.
