Men's Basketball Travels To La Salle For A-14/Big 5 Game Sunday - The #18/20 Temple men's basketball team has accomplished so many things during the course of its stellar 2009-10 campaign. The Owls (23-5, 11-2 A-14) have cracked the Top 25 for the first time since 2001, defeated a Top 5 team for the first time since 2000 and posted the most wins since 2001. A win Sunday at La Salle (2:00 p.m./OwlAccess) would give the program just its fifth 4-0 Big 5 campaign, and its first since 1987-88.
The Owls, under the stewardship of head coach Fran Dunphy, have already clinched a share of their 26th city-series title. A 4-0 season would place this team among the elite squads in Cherry and White lore. Besides the '87-88 squad, which boasted a 32-2 record and a final regular season #1 ranking, the other TU teams to go 4-0 in Big 5 play were the 1986-87 team, which tied for the most wins in a season (32-4), and the two NCAA Final Four teams: 1957-58 (27-3) and 1955-56 (27-4).

Men's Basketball Travels To La Salle For A-14/Big 5 Game Sunday - The #18/20 Temple men's basketball team has accomplished so many things during the course of its stellar 2009-10 campaign. The Owls (23-5, 11-2 A-14) have cracked the Top 25 for the first time since 2001, defeated a Top 5 team for the first time since 2000 and posted the most wins since 2001. A win Sunday at La Salle (2:00 p.m./OwlAccess) would give the program just its fifth 4-0 Big 5 campaign, and its first since 1987-88.
The Owls, under the stewardship of head coach Fran Dunphy, have already clinched a share of their 26th city-series title. A 4-0 season would place this team among the elite squads in Cherry and White lore. Besides the '87-88 squad, which boasted a 32-2 record and a final regular season #1 ranking, the other TU teams to go 4-0 in Big 5 play were the 1986-87 team, which tied for the most wins in a season (32-4), and the two NCAA Final Four teams: 1957-58 (27-3) and 1955-56 (27-4).
