PHILADELPHIA – Marc Jackson, who starred at Temple for two seasons (1995-97) before a 13-year professional basketball career, will team with Kevin Copp for the Owls' men's basketball home ESPN+ telecasts. The two veteran broadcasters will be on the call for Temple's season opener against NJIT this afternoon – the first of five ESPN+ telecasts from the Liacouras Center for the 2020-21 season.
Jackson, who scored 1,001 points for Temple, led the Owls in scoring and rebounding both seasons, earning 1997 Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year. A second-round selection by Golden State in the 1997 NBA Draft, he chose to begin his professional career overseas before joining the Warriors in 2000.
