With two minutes, 28 seconds left Mark Williams picked up his fifth foul and exited the court at the Liacouras Center one last time.
The home crowd rose to its feet and gave Williams a thunderous applause.
While at times this season Temple faithful have been critical of the senior forward, he earned the proper sendoff in his last home game for the Owls.
Williams scored 20 points, collected six rebounds and added three assists and two blocks in Saturday’s 86-76 double overtime win against Tulane on Senior Day.
“It was like you’re about to move out of your childhood house,” Williams said.
