The Owls have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games, with performances that suggest they're capable of both offensive brilliance and defensive struggles.

In their last game against Northwestern Wildcats, despite a valiant effort, the Owls fell just short with 68 points against the Wildcats' 72.

However, they did excel at rebounding with an impressive total of 44 rebounds.

The previous encounter saw a different side of Temple as they dominated La Salle Explorers with an emphatic scoreline of 85-61. Their offense clicked on all cylinders as they shot at a much-improved rate of 44 percent from the field and were relentless on defense, forcing an astonishing number of turnovers which translated into fast-break opportunities.

Against Delaware Fightin Blue Hens, Temple's performance was balanced as they secured a win scoring 72 points while allowing only 65. They showed prowess from three-point range hitting an exceptional rate but still struggled slightly inside shooting just over one-third from two-point range.

The upcoming game promises to be exciting as Temple looks to capitalize on their home court where fan support has always been influential. The team's ability to turn defense into offense could be key against Memphis Tigers who will undoubtedly come prepared for battle.
