Junior guard Donnaizha Fountain let out a scream and flexed after making a layup and drawing a foul to put her team up by three points in the middle of the third quarter.
Just minutes earlier Fountain and the Owls were trailing by seven and in danger of losing their first game since Dec. 7.
Fountain’s basket was part of Temple’s 16-0 third-quarter run in its 66-51 win against Memphis on Saturday at McGonigle Hall. The victory gave Temple (15-3, 6-0 American Athletic Conference) its 11th win in a row.
The Owls trailed by seven with nine minutes, 36 seconds left in the third quarter before scoring 16 straight points over the game’s next 3:10 to build a nine-point advantage.
