PHILADELPHIA - Temple men's basketball's annual White Out game is this Sunday, Feb. 19 as the Owls (14-13, 5-9) face UConn (13-12, 8-5) at 4 p.m. (ESPN / 1210 AM WPHT). The UConn contest is the start of a three-game homestand for the Owls, who look improve their place in the American Athletic Conference standings as the season winds down.
Temple has had a truly up-and-down conference season, especially as of late with alternating wins and losses in the month of February. Most recently, the Owls held a one-point, 38-37 halftime lead at East Carolina on Feb. 15, but a 19-3 run for the Pirates midway through the second half put the game out of reach for Temple.
