Heading into Wednesday night’s American Athletic Conference matchup against Connecticut, Temple had been getting outrebounded by more than 50 rebounds. The Owls’ rebound margin increased to an even larger deficit at Gampel Pavilion, where the hometown Huskies grabbed nine more boards total than Temple.
But the rebounding disparity was just one of the many issues in the paint for the Owls (10-8, 1-4 The American) in their 73-59 loss.
A layup from junior forward Obi Enechionyia at the 10 minute, seven second mark of the second half made the score 53-46, but that was the closest the Owls came for the rest of the game.
