The story line was familiar.
The Owls dug themselves a hole, they made a comeback attempt and then their opponent pulled away. That’s how most games have been going for Temple in American Athletic Conference play.
The tale remained the same on Saturday night as Houston took down the Owls 79-66 at Hofheinz Pavilion.
After breaking a three-game losing streak with a win against Memphis on Wednesday, the Owls (11-11, 2-7 The American) went back to their conference struggles on Saturday.
Temple trailed 43-33 at halftime and things didn’t get much better to start the second half.
