Dunphy’s squad ready to take on No. 1 Villanova again
A line of students wrapped around the Liacouras Center on Feb. 17, waiting to get inside to see Temple take on Big 5 rival Villanova on a Wednesday night.
In front of the only soldout crowd of the season, Villanova coasted to an 83-67 win to help maintain its status as the top team in Division I basketball.
It was the third straight win for Villanova against the Owls. The Wildcats beat Temple by 23 points at The Pavilion in 2014 and beat the Owls by 16 points in the 2013-14 season at the Liacouras Center.
