		<description><![CDATA[While a crushing loss to a hated rival will certainly sting, the men&#8217;s basketball team doesn&#8217;t have to look too hard to find something to feel positive about.
With 14 points in the contest, 12 of which came in the first half, junior guard Semaj Inge played his best game of the season and perhaps earned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With less than five minutes remaining in a tightly-contested matchup against St. Joseph&#8217;s Saturday night, Temple&#8217;s Mark Tyndale simply took over the game.
The senior guard made crucial plays on both ends of the floor - blocking sophomore guard Garrett Williamson&#8217;s breakaway dunk attempt at the 3:29 mark and poking the ball away from senior forward [...]]]></description>

The 7-0 junior center from Elda, Spain gets more than his fair share of condemnation from fans at the Liacouras Center.
But, for one night, Olmos heard more cheers than disapproval as he played a key role in [...]]]></description>

Holding a 19-point lead over the No. 20-ranked team in the nation with less than a minute remaining, Temple senior guard Mark Tyndale dribbled out the clock as the men&#8217;s basketball team received a standing ovation from the crowd at the Liacouras Center.

Almost two months later, the Owls proved they can allow single-digit leads to slip away also.

The Tigers missed some open looks, but Temple did hold its opponent to a 23.2 percent shooting clip.
Either way, it worked.
The Owls topped the Tigers, 69-46, Thursday at the Liacouras Center, evening their record at 4-4. The Tigers&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ATLANTIC CITY - The men&#8217;s basketball team has suffered through late-game scoreless streaks several times this season.

The 11th-seeded Owls scored just four points during an eight-minute span late in the game Wednesday. This allowed sixth-seeded Saint Joseph&#8217;s to erase a [...]]]></description>
