Men's Basketball Hosts ECU Saturday
PHILADELPHIA - Fresh off a 66-62 road win over UCF, Temple returns home to face ECU at the Liacouras Center Saturday (2 pm/ESPN+/1210 AM WPHT).
The Owls (8-6, 1-2 AAC) won Wednesday's contest without head coach Aaron McKie (covid protocol list) and key players Jake Forrester (non-covid illness) and Tai Strickland (back). The status for all three for Saturday's game is still uncertain.
The Pirates (10-3, 1-0) are coming off an 88-80 overtime win against Tulane Wednesday. ECU, which has not played a true road game all season, had missed its previous two contests due to covid protocol issues within its program.
