Temple Owls Set to Clash with Florida Atlantic Owls at FAU Arena
As the Temple Owls prepare for their upcoming encounter at FAU Arena, fans are eager to see if they can turn the tide after a series of challenging games. The team's recent performance has shown resilience despite some tough outcomes. In their last three games, Temple has demonstrated a strong defensive presence with an average of 7 steals per game, indicating their ability to disrupt opponents' play.
However, scoring efficiency has been a concern; in these matches, the team shot an average field goal percentage of just 32 percent and struggled from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting percentage hovering around 29 percent. Free throw accuracy was more reliable at approximately 66 percent across the games.
Rebounding has been another area where Temple could seek improvement. They've averaged about 35 rebounds per game but have allowed opponents second-chance points that could have been prevented with stronger offensive rebounding efforts.
The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Temple to capitalize on its defensive strengths while addressing offensive execution. Adjustments in shot selection and rebound positioning may be key factors in overcoming Florida Atlantic's home-court advantage.
Fans can anticipate this matchup on February 16th at FAU Arena in Boca Raton, FL. The game will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN2 (channel 209), offering supporters a chance to rally behind the Owls as they aim for victory away from home.
