Temple Owls Host Delaware State Hornets at Liacouras Center in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Temple Owls prepare to host the Delaware State Hornets at the Liacouras Center, fans are gearing up for an exciting women's basketball game. The Owls have been working hard to improve their performance from the previous season, where they faced challenges that reflected in their statistics.


Old Dominion Monarchs VS Temple Owls

Last season, the Owls played a total of two games with a field goal percentage of 35 and a free throw percentage of 58. Their true shooting percentage was 43, which combines three-pointers, two-pointers, and free throws into one percentage. They also had a three-point shooting rate of 27 percent and were slightly better inside the arc with a two-point shooting rate of 40 percent.


Defensively, they averaged 24 personal fouls per game which is an area where discipline could greatly benefit their game strategy. On offense, they managed to score an average of 60 points per game while assisting on more than half those baskets with an average assist count of around 11. The team also pulled down approximately 27 rebounds per game but will look to increase this number as rebounding can often dictate possession and control of the game.


The Owls showed some prowess on defense with an average of seven steals and one block per game last season but will need to reduce their turnovers which stood at roughly ten per match.


Playing at home should give Temple an edge as they are familiar with the court dynamics and have support from local fans. However, it's crucial for them not just to rely on home-court advantage but also focus on improving their shooting percentages across all areas.


Fans can expect both teams to come out strong as they look for early dominance in this matchup. With improved discipline in avoiding personal fouls and maintaining possession through reduced turnovers, Temple could leverage its strengths effectively against Delaware State Hornets.


The action unfolds on November 6th at Liacouras Center located in Philadelphia; tip-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM local time. Fans unable to attend can follow updates through various sports networks dedicated to college basketball coverage.
