On Thursday, Temple was able to grind out a solid victory over Memphis, taking the game 88-81. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Owls.
Temple’s success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Shane Dezonie led the charge by dropping a double-double on 15 points and 13 rebounds. The dominant performance also gave Dezonie a new career-high in offensive rebounds (eight). Quante Berry was another key player, going 8 for 12 en route to 19 points.
Temple smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 22 offensive rebounds. That’s the most offensive rebounds they’ve managed all season.

Tulane got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Kaleb Banks out in front who went 8 for 14 en route to 25 points plus two steals. Banks had some trouble finding his footing against South Florida on Saturday, so this was a nice turnaround. The team also got some help courtesy of Rowan Brumbaugh, who scored 20 points along with two steals.
Temple’s victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 11-6. As for Tulane, they have been performing well recently as they’ve won five of their last six contests, which provided a massive bump to their 10-8 record this season.
