A thunderous dunk by junior forward Obi Enechionyia ended the University of Pennsylvania’s hopes of coming back within the last minute at the Liacouras Center on Saturday.
Temple extended its winning streak to five with a 70-62 win against Penn. It was Temple’s 200th win at the Liacouras Center, as the Owls play their 20th season in the building.
The win improves Temple to 3-0 in Big 5 play, with its final Big 5 matchup of the year on Dec. 13 against Villanova, the No. 2 team in the Associated Press Top 25.
Penn trailed by as much as 15 in the second half, but with one minute, 16 seconds left the Quakers cut Temple’s lead to two.
