Owls drop third conference game, second to No. 1 Connecticut

The Huskies, ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll, extended their winning streak to 102 games with a definitive win against the Owls.

Connecticut beat Temple 90-45 in Hartford on Wednesday thanks to a high-powered offensive performance. This marks the Owls’ (21-6, 11-3 American Athletic Conference) third conference loss and their second to the Huskies.

Connecticut shot 59 percent from the field, compared to Temple’s 27.1 percent Sophomore forward Napheesa Collier’s 31 points led all scorers.

“We were just not guarding guys that can shoot well and make their shots,” coach Tonya Cardoza said.
