PHILADELPHIA – Temple men's basketball has been selected to finish 10th in the American Athletic conference preseason poll in voting by the league's head coaches, the conference announced Wednesday (Oct. 28).
The Owls, under second-year coach Aaron McKie, return just five lettermen, including two starters, from last year's squad that entered the AAC tournament with a 14-17 record before the season ended due to COVID-19.
Seniors De'Vondre Perry (6.2 ppg) and J.P. Moorman II (5.8 ppg, 5.1 rpg) along with junior Jake Forrester (7.5 ppg) are expected to lead the young squad during the season.
