Can Temple Owls Continue Their Winning Momentum at Liacouras Center?
As the Temple Owls prepare to host the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at the Liacouras Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent winning form. The Owls have shown a remarkable ability to control games in the second half, as evidenced by their last three performances.
In their most recent game against the Roadrunners, Temple demonstrated resilience and strategic prowess. Despite trailing at halftime, they surged back with a 49-point second half to secure an 83-77 victory. This comeback was fueled by an impressive fast break performance that netted them 19 points and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5 – indicating efficient ball handling and teamwork.
However, it's not just about offense for the Owls; they've also been tenacious on defense. In that same game, they recorded eight steals and four blocks, disrupting their opponents' rhythm and converting defensive plays into scoring opportunities.
The previous away game against Florida Atlantic showed some weaknesses when faced with a strong home side as they fell short with a score of 68-80. Yet even in defeat, there were positives: an excellent free throw percentage of eighty-seven percent showcased their composure under pressure.
Returning home seems to bolster the Owl's confidence; another win was recorded against Charlotte where they narrowly edged out with a score of 70-73. Once again showing strength in defense with seven steals and capitalizing on turnovers for points.
With these trends in mind, fans can anticipate another thrilling encounter as Temple looks to exploit its home-court advantage against Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The question remains whether they can continue this upward trajectory or if adjustments will be needed to overcome any new challenges posed by Tulsa.
The upcoming clash is set for March 2nd at 6 PM Eastern Time at Liacouras Center in Philadelphia – home turf for the Owls where fans have been part of their success story this season. Those unable to attend can catch all the action live on ESPN+ via internet broadcast networks.
