PHILADELPHIA - For the third of four times this season, Temple basketball will honor some of its all-time greats with induction into the Ring of Honor when the Owls host East Carolina on Saturday, Jan. 7 at noon (TCN / 1210 AM WPHT). John Baum and Jim Williams, both members of the Philadelphia Big 5 and Temple Athletics Hall of Fames, will be honored in a halftime ceremony and will have their names permanently displayed in the Temple Basketball Ring of Honor that adorns the walls above the upper bowl of the Liacouras Center.
Williams starred for Temple from 1963-64 through 1965-66 and has the distinction of being the only Owl ever to lead his team in scoring and rebounding for three straight seasons.
