Pass-first mentality

The Owls’ guards win with unselfish play. The men’s basketball team doesn’t care how it gets to 78 points, all that matters is that when the Owls score that many points, they don’t lose. No. 22 Temple (21-5, 10-2 Atlantic Ten Conference) has reached or eclipsed that mark 11 times this season, going a perfect [...]

Brown deserves praise as sixth man

Aaron Brown plays an important role for men’s basketball.

When I think of [...]
