COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Fran Dunphy's last season as Temple's coach produced a November to remember. The Owls calmly held off a late Missouri charge to win 79-77, claiming their third victory over a Power 5 conference opponent this season after previous wins over Georgia and Cal.
"Just a very good win for us," said Dunphy, who is retiring after his 13th season at Temple. "To come on the road and play a program like Missouri is a tremendous opportunity for our group, and we sustained our good effort throughout."
Quinton Rose scored 18 points, Shizz Alston finished with 15 points, De'Vondre Perry added 11 points and Ernest Aflakpui grabbed 12 rebounds for the Owls (6-1).
