Temple rallies past Minnesota 75-70 in Puerto Rico Tipoff

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) Devin Coleman scored 12 of his 15 points in the final seven minutes, and Temple rallied past Minnesota 75-70 on Thursday in the opening game of the Puerto Rico Tipoff.

Jaylen Bond finished with 19 points to lead the Owls (1-1), who regrouped after going 6 1/2 minutes without a basket with a run that finally put them ahead for good. The Gophers used a 17-2 run to erase a nine-point deficit and go up 56-50 and seize momentum. But Coleman's 3-pointer ended the drought and started the 15-2 run that put Temple back in front.
