Coach Fran Dunphy doesn’t know the answer to that question yet. He’s already preparing for 2013-2014, but the time will come when he looks back at a 24-10 season which included the program’s second NCAA win in three years and evaluate what the Owls accomplished. http://temple.scout.com/2/1280607.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1280607.html Thu, 04 Apr 2013 07:27:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Khalif Wyatt scored 31 points and Temple played its best defensive game of the season, but it wasn't quite enough as the Owls were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by top-seeded Indiana, 58-52, on Sunday afternoon at UD Arena. http://temple.scout.com/2/1277607.html 8 Shawn Pastor http://temple.scout.com/2/1277607.html Sun, 24 Mar 2013 22:31:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Read the complete transcript of Temple's Saturday afternoon media session leading into Sunday's NCAA Tournament game against Indiana. Coach Fran Dunphy was joined on the dais by seniors Khalif Wyatt, Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson, and T.J. DiLeo. http://temple.scout.com/2/1277359.html 8 Shawn Pastor http://temple.scout.com/2/1277359.html Sat, 23 Mar 2013 21:44:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Like it or not, the storyline heading into Temple’s NCAA Tournament opener against North Carolina State wasn’t Khalif Wyatt, or the five Owl seniors, or the program’s sixth straight tournament appearance. No, it was all about Coach Fran Dunphy. Specifically, Dunphy’s 2-14 record in the NCAAs – including a 1-5 record on North Broad Street. Consider the narrative changed. http://temple.scout.com/2/1277098.html 8 Shawn Pastor http://temple.scout.com/2/1277098.html Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:05:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Khalif Wyatt knows the record. So does Fran Dunphy. The Temple men’s basketball team is 1-5 in the NCAA Tournament the last five years, the only win coming two seasons ago when Juan Fernandez beat Penn State with a last-second shot. Now the Owls have another chance to make a run, though it will be challenging. http://temple.scout.com/2/1276905.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1276905.html Fri, 22 Mar 2013 05:34:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple The odds may seem long for the Temple men's basketball team to go on a deep NCAA Tournament run. But looking back at a similar Owls' team 12 years ago shows what could be possible. http://temple.scout.com/2/1276630.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1276630.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:32:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Jake O’Brien came to Temple to play in the NCAA Tournament. So the fifth-year senior was among the more excited Owls players when Temple’s name was announced in the East Region bracket on Sunday night. http://temple.scout.com/2/1275906.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1275906.html Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:47:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Fran Dunphy was worried. So much so that he and his team watched the NCAA Selection Show in their practice facility and not with the crowd of Temple supporters for the first time. He didn't need to stress. The Owls are in as a No. 9 seed, playing N.C. State on Friday. Listen to a one-on-one interview with Dunphy as well as comments from players after the announcement. http://temple.scout.com/2/1275567.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1275567.html Mon, 18 Mar 2013 02:17:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Seven years ago, John Chaney lost the last game he ever coached to Phil Martelli. Friday night, Temple lost its last Atlantic 10 game to UMass. Going out as champs would have been nice. Short of that, losing to your number one rival seems most appropriate. http://temple.scout.com/2/1275131.html 8 Shawn Pastor http://temple.scout.com/2/1275131.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 06:14:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple And so it might be apropos if Temple’s last Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Tournament involved a matchup against UMass. The 23-8 Owls will kick off their final run as an Atlantic 10 school this weekend in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the new host of a tournament which just finished a good run in Atlantic City and also was held through the years at the Palestra and the Spectrum among other arenas http://temple.scout.com/2/1274398.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1274398.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 03:31:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Khalif Wyatt’s junior season was filled with spectacular plays on the court and occasional drama on and off it. Wyatt’s senior season has been heavy on the former and devoid of the latter, which is a big reason why the standout guard became the first Temple men’s basketball player chosen Atlantic 10 Player of the Year since Pepe Sanchez was honored in 2000 on Tuesday. http://temple.scout.com/2/1274060.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1274060.html Wed, 13 Mar 2013 03:56:00 GMT 0 186 Temple temple The Temple basketball team has made a habit of playing its best when the spotlight shines the brightest. Now they’ll get their chance to play the game on the biggest stage of all. The Owls essentially cemented their NCAA Tournament hopes with a rollicking, 84-76 victory over VCU on Sunday afternoon at The Liacouras Center. http://temple.scout.com/2/1273298.html 8 Shawn Pastor http://temple.scout.com/2/1273298.html Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:07:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Freshman forward Daniel Dingle sparked a decisive first half run as Temple rolled to a 74-55 victory over Fordham on Wednesday night in The Bronx. http://temple.scout.com/2/1272385.html 8 Shawn Pastor http://temple.scout.com/2/1272385.html Thu, 07 Mar 2013 06:01:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple The Temple men’s basketball team is down to its final two games of the season. At stake is a potential bye in the Atlantic 10 Tournament which begins next Thursday in Brooklyn for the first time. The Owls could also potentially clinch a bid as an at-large team to the NCAA Tournament with victories at Fordham Wednesday night and Sunday at home against VCU should they not win the A-10. http://temple.scout.com/2/1272066.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1272066.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 06:49:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple While Will Cummings has been a starter all season, his production and minutes have greatly varied over the course of his sophomore campaign based on his play and the contributions of others, mostly senior T.J. DiLeo. But on Saturday, Cummings had the type of impact many hoped he would this year, totaling 15 points and leading the charge on defense with four steals as Temple topped Rhode Island. http://temple.scout.com/2/1271192.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1271192.html Sun, 03 Mar 2013 10:49:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple Khalif Wyatt was scoreless in the first half and had just eight points with two minutes to go against Detroit Thursday, but as the senior guard has done most of the year, he rescued the Temple men’s basketball team in the final minutes. Wyatt scored 12 points in the last two minutes to rally the Owls past the Titans, 83-78, in the final game of the Gotham Classic. http://temple.scout.com/2/1270677.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1270677.html Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:29:00 GMT 0 186 Temple temple The Temple men’s basketball team is one game out of a first-round bye in what should be a highly competitive Atlantic 10 Tournament in Brooklyn in a few weeks. The Owls could also be closing in on the requisite number of wins to secure a resume strong enough to be selected as an at-large team in the NCAA Tournament. http://temple.scout.com/2/1270048.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1270048.html Wed, 27 Feb 2013 05:56:00 GMT 0 186 Temple temple The Owls suffered a devastating home loss to Atlantic-10 bottom-dweller Duquesne 10 days ago, and Temple coach Fran Dunphy admitted he would have to see how his inconsistent team would respond. The answer: Pretty good after the Owls destroyed host Charlotte, 71-51, on Sunday to win for the third straight time since the setback against the Dukes. http://temple.scout.com/2/1269437.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1269437.html Mon, 25 Feb 2013 06:35:00 GMT 0 186 Temple temple Temple men’s basketball coach Fran Dunphy was asked after his team’s critical 82-74 win over La Salle on Thursday whether the enigmatic Owls were charming because of their inconsistent but often entertaining ways. While the Owls may be entertaining, most coaches desire a little more reliability and Dunphy is no different. http://temple.scout.com/2/1269197.html 8 Bill Evans http://temple.scout.com/2/1269197.html Sun, 24 Feb 2013 05:56:00 GMT 1 186 Temple temple
