Temple Owls Host Ole Miss Rebels at Liacouras Center in Men's Basketball Showdown
As the Temple Owls prepare to welcome the Ole Miss Rebels to the Liacouras Center for an exciting men's basketball game, fans are eager to see how their team will perform on their home court. The upcoming match, scheduled for November 22 at 8:30 PM, promises to be a thrilling encounter in Philadelphia.
The Owls have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against Columbia Lions at home, they fell just short with a score of 73-78. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their free-throw accuracy was impressive at 86 percent. However, they struggled from the field with only a 36 percent success rate from beyond the arc and an overall field goal percentage of just under 36 percent.
Prior to that game, Temple secured a narrow victory over Drexel Dragons with a final scoreline of 66-64. Their resilience on defense was evident as they racked up ten steals and four blocks while maintaining an excellent free throw percentage of approximately 85 percent.
In another close contest against Navy Midshipmen earlier in the season, Temple emerged victorious with a score of 75-68. They demonstrated efficient shooting inside by converting over half of their two-point attempts and maintained decent three-point shooting at around 31 percent.
One trend is clear: when Temple controls turnovers and capitalizes on free throws while maintaining defensive intensity, they put themselves in positions to win games. With these trends in mind and playing before their home crowd at Liacouras Center—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which can undoubtedly influence player performance—the Owls have reasons for optimism.
Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+ as both teams vie for victory on November 22nd at Liacouras Center starting from 8:30 PM local time. Will Temple leverage its home-court advantage? Only time will tell as we anticipate an enthralling encounter between these two competitive squads.
