Penn entered Wednesday’s game against Temple with the fewest turnovers in Division I.
The Quakers forced 16 turnovers, while only committing nine, nearly four below their season average, in their 74-59 win at McGonigle Hall.
Temple (9-10, 2-2 Big 5, 1-5 American Athletic Conference) lost its fifth game in a row and a chance to claim a share of the Big 5 title with Villanova. Penn (10-5, 3-1 Big 5) won its second Big 5 title in program history and its eighth game in its past nine tries.
Turnovers were a major factor in the outcome, however, the majority of Temple’s turnovers were unforced, as Penn only had four steals.
