PHILADELPHIA – Temple earned the third seed in the 2019 Air Force Reserve American Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Championship, held March 14-17 at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. The Owls (23-8, 13-5 AAC) will play the winner of #6-seed Wichita State (17-13, 10-8) and #11-seed ECU (10-20, 3-15) at 9 pm (8 pm CT) on Friday, March 15.
The Owls earned their seed by virtue of their thrilling 67-62 win over #25/rv UCF Saturday in head coach Fran Dunphy's final home game as the program's coach. This will be the second highest seed for Temple in the AAC Championship, topped only by the 2015-16 season when TU won the regular season title and was the overall top seed.
