QUICK FACTS

LAST TIME IN DAYTON (2013 NCAA TOURNAMENT)» Senior Khalif Wyatt scored 31 points to lead ninth-seeded Temple over eighth-seeded NC State, 76-72 in the NCAA East Regional.» Temple opened a 17-point lead before Wyatt hurt his left thumb and left the game briefly. He made 6 of 6 from the line in the final 32 seconds to keep Temple around for more than one game. He hit his last two with 2.2 seconds to go.» NC State trailed most of the game, but cut it to 74-72 on Lorenzo Brown's jumper with 2 seconds left. Wyatt was fouled on the inbounds play and finished it off.» Two days later, the Owls were dealt a heartbreaking 58-52 loss to the East Region's top seed Indiana. » Wyatt shot 50 percent (12-of-24) for the game and and once again finished with a game-high 31 points. » Trailing Indiana by nine early on, the Owls worked their way back and played with the lead for more than 20 minutes. Anthony Lee capped a 15-4 TU run and the Owls led 29-26 at halftime. » IU's Will Sheehey closed an 8-2 run for the Hoosiers to tie the game at 43. Refusing to go away, Wyatt quickly netted a three-pointer of his own to keep the Owls ahead for a little longer. Temple would go back up by as many as four (52-48) after Wyatt swished a pair of free throws.» The Hoosiers soon tied the game at 52. Wyatt tried to complete his heroic act on the ensuing possession, but missed a three-pointer and was called for a foul, which sent IU to the line. Indiana then closed the game out on a 10-0 run to put Temple away and end the Owls’ hopes of advancing to the Sweet 16.

*as of March 19, 2019

» The offense went missing when Temple needed it most and the third-seeded Owls suffered an 80-74 loss to sixth-seeded Wichita State in the 2019 Air Force Reserve American Athletic Conference Championships quarterfinals at FedEx Forum. » Over three 4-5 minute stretches at various times of the game, Temple was scoreless or made only free throws. The third of those came to close out the game as the Owls missed their final five field-goal attempts.» Temple led for most of the first half and early in the second, but after the third tie of the second half with 11:48 remaining, Wichita State took the lead for good.» The Shockers hit 22-of-24 (92 percent) from the free-throw line and got a 34-point outing from senior Marcus McDuffie.» Senior Ernest Aflakpui dominated on the boards, grabbing a career-high 19 rebounds to go with 16 points for his fourth double-double of the season. Ten of Aflakpui's rebounds came on the offensive glass.» The Owls' scoring leader was Shizz Alston, Jr. with 20 points, while junior Quinton Rose added 17 points, six rebounds and three steals.» Sophomore Nate Pierre-Louis also finished in double figures in scoring with 11 points.

Sensational ShizzSenior guard Shizz Alston, Jr., named to the 2019 American Athletic Conference First Team and the 2019 USBWA All-Dis-trict II Team, has led the Owls offensively all season long and is climbing the program's all-time record lists. » His 19.7 points per game and .907 free-throw percentage both rank first in the AAC while his 5.0 assists per game rank second. He leads all players in the AAC with 37.1 minutes played per game and his 3.0 three-pointers made per game rank fourth. » Alston recently became the eighth player in program history to record 400 assists (now with 413), and his 1,576 points rank in a tie for 13th all-time while his 246 three-pointers rank in a tie for fifth all-time. » He has been named AAC Player of the Week three times, Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week four times, and has racked up six AAC Weekly Honor Roll mentions. » Alston scored a career-high 34 points in the Owls' 78-71 win at UConn on March 7. He has now scored 20 or more points in eight straight games, the longest such streak of his career by a wide margin.» He has hit at least one three-pointer in 43 straight games to set a new program record.» His .907 free throw percentage currently ranks first all-time at Temple in a single season and ranks seventh in NCAA Division I. His 95 three-pointers rank tied for third all-time in a single season, and his 630 points rank 15th all-time in a single season.

Alston, Rose and Pierre-Louis Earn AAC All-Conference HonorsIn a vote by the league's 12 head coaches, three Owls earned American Athletic Conference postseason honors. Senior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. was named to the First Team, junior guard Quinton Rose was named to the Second Team.

Sophomore guard Nate Pierre-Louis was named Most Improved along with Josh Carlton of UConn. Pierre-Louis is aver-aging 13.4 points per game this season, up almost six points per game from his 7.5 ppg average as a freshman. He has nearly doubled his rebounding average, going from 3.0 rpg to 5.7 rpg. He has 51 steals up from 25 last year, and 61 assists compared to 15 as a freshman.

Frantastic MemoriesHead coach Fran Dunphy coached his final home game for the Owls on March 9. In his 13 years at the helm, Dunphy has guided Temple to 270 wins, nine 20-win seasons, eight NCAA Tournaments and two trips to the NIT. He has earned four conference Coach of the Year awards, defeated 18 nationally ranked teams and has won three conference championships along with three regular-season titles. Dunphy is the only person to serve as the head coach at two Philadelphia Big 5 schools and his 580 wins (and counting) are the most by a Big 5 coach. Dunphy finished with an impressive record of 130-41 (.760) in home games with the Owls, winning 10 or more home games in nine of his 13 seasons.

Exceeding ExpectationsThe Owls were picked to finish sixth in the 2018-19 Preseason AAC Coaches Poll, and bettered that spot by three places to finish third in a tie with UCF. The coaches voted UCF as the favorite to win the league title with the Knights garnering six of a possible 11 first-place votes and 114 points to edge Cincinnati (107 pts) for the No. 1 spot. Houston (103 pts) was picked to finish third but captured the regular season title outright.

This year marked the fourth time the Owls have been picked to finish sixth, including the 2015-16 season when Temple won the regular season conference title. This year's placing was matched exactly in 2014-15 when the Owls were also picked sixth before finishing third at 13-5.

Road WarriorsThe Owls won their 10th game away from home on March 7 at UConn, so far going 8-5 in away games and 2-2 in neu-tral-site games. It marks the first time Temple has had 10 wins away from home in a regular season since the 2011-12 season. The Owls have played more games away from home in 2018-19 than any other team in the American Athletic Conference. Only Tulane is within one game of matching Temple's 17 away or neutral-site contests.

Shizzling at the LineSenior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. currently ranks seventh among all players in NCAA Division I in free-throw shooting, having hit 90.7 percent of his shots this season (137-for-151). Alston also ranks first in the American Athletic Conference. His 14 (of 15) free throws made in Temple's win at Tulane on Feb. 2 were the most free throws made by an Owl in a single game since Khalif Wyatt made 15 vs. Duquesne on Feb. 14, 2013.

The Importance of Being ErnestIt wasn't a win for the Owls, but senior center Ernest Aflakupi did his part, corralling a career-high 19 rebounds and scoring 16 points in Temple's AAC quarterfinal loss to Wichita State on March 15. Aflakpui grabbed 10 offensive boards, the most since Temple great Lavoy Allen did the same on Feb. 6, 2010 at Richmond. For Aflakpui, the double-double was his fourth of the season and first since a win vs. Penn on Jan. 9.

Fran Dunphy Ties John Chaney for Most Big 5 NCAA AppearancesTemple head coach Fran Dunphy is making his 17th appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 30 years as a head coach. He took the Penn Quakers to nine NCAA Tournaments between 1992-2006, and has guided the Owls to eight NCAA Tournament appearances (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2019). Only former Temple coach John Chaney racked up as many NCAA Tournament appearances with a Philadelphia Big 5 team as Dunphy has, taking Temple to the Big Dance 17 times between 1984-2001. Villanova head coach Jay Wright is next on the list with 14 NCAA Tournament appearances in his 18 years with the Wildcats.

Fran Dunphy Named Finalist for Skip Prosser Man of the Year AwardTemple head coach Fran Dunphy has been named a finalist for the 2019 Skip Prosser Man of the Year award. Named after the late Skip Prosser, who died suddenly in 2007 while the head coach at Wake Forest, the award is presented an-nually to those who not only achieve success on the basketball court but who also display moral integrity off of it as well.

Dunphy, in his 13th and final season as the Owls' head coach, earlier this year received the Dean Smith Award presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, and the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Good Guy Award. He has been honored by many of Temple's opponents during this season for his contributions to the sport.

The all-time winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history with 580 victories, Dunphy has led Temple to nine postsea-son appearances, including seven trips to the NCAA Tournament. In his 13 seasons at the Owls' helm, he has compiled a 270-160 overall record. He has led the Cherry and White to three conference championships and three regular season titles.

Shizz Alston, Jr. Named to USBWA All-District TeamSenior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. was named to the 10-member USBWA All-District II team announced March 12. Alston is the first Temple player to earn the honor since Khalif Wyatt was named to the 2012-13 squad. He is the sixth Owl to garner the recognition since 2000.

Alston, who was named first team All-AAC on March 11, has had a sensational final season for the Owls. The 6-4 guard has set a new school record for consecutive games with a made three-pointers (42 and counting) and is on pace to set records for single season (.906) and career (.884) free throw percentage. He already has the record for consecutive free throws made (52 set last season).

Also this season, Alston, who has been named AAC Player of the Week three times, became the eighth Temple player to dish 400 career assists and the 12th player to score 600 points in a season. His 91 three-pointers made rank fifth on the Owls’ all-time single season list and he could join Dionte Christmas as the only Owls to eclipse the century mark. His 90.6 free throw percentage leads the AAC and is on pace for a new single season record at Temple. His 5.1 assist per game mark ranks third in the conference with his 1.5 steals per game standing at eighth.

Other Temple players besides Alston and Wyatt to earn the honor since 2000 are Dionte Christmas (2007-08, 2008-09), Mardy Collins (2004-05), David Hawkins (2003-04) and Lynn Greer (2001-02).

Last time in the NCAAs - (7) Iowa 72, (10) Temple 70 (OT) - March 18, 2016 - Brooklyn, N.Y. - Barclays CenterAfter a thrilling ending to regulation gave Temple new life in overtime of the NCAA First Round, Iowa handed the Owls a heartbreaking loss with a putback at the buzzer. Temple got a game-high 26 points from Quenton DeCosey in his final appearance for the Owls, with DeCosey hitting 3-of-3 at the free throw line to tie the game with two seconds left in regulation.

Iowa hit a flurry of three-pointers early in the game, forcing Temple to come back from a 12-point deficit in the first half. The Owls again trailed by double digits seven minutes into the second half, and never held a lead in that period. The first tie of the game came with two seconds left when DeCosey made his clutch performance at the stripe.

Iowa hit a pair of free throws at 1:09 to give the Hawkeyes a three-point lead late in the first half, but they were almost the only points scored by either team in the final four minutes. Josh Brown broke the drought for Temple with three seconds left, hitting a jumper to send the Owls into halftime down by just a point, 38-37.

Iowa's last field goal of the second half came with 5:08 remaining to give the Hawkeyes an eight-point, 61-53 lead, but Temple still trailed by four with 18 seconds left. DeCosey made a layup at 11 seconds, and Iowa's Jok missed 1-of-2 free throws to put Temple down just three with eight seconds left. DeCosey was fouled on his long three-point attempt, and made all three including the third after an Iowa timeout.

Temple trailed by three early in overtime before taking a two-point lead on a three-point play by DeCosey at 2:40. The Hawkeyes scored just one field goal in a 10-minute stretch from the second half into the end of overtime, with that shot tying the game 68-68 with 1:52 remaining.

Brown answered two Iowa free throws with a jumper at 51 seconds, tying the game for a final time at 70-70. Daniel Dingle had a chance to give Temple a lead at the line with 22 seconds left, but missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Iowa ran down the clock and missed its first attempt, but Adam Woodbury put it back for the win.

Remembering a LegendTemple University is mourning the loss of one of its most decorated and distinguished alums and former athletics staff members with the passing of Al Shrier in the early morning of Monday, March 4. He was 88 years old. The longest tenured and most decorated sports information director in the history of intercollegiate athletics, Mr. Shrier worked for his alma mater since 1953, the year of his graduation, up until June 2018. His 65 years of service is the longest by any athletics staffer in Temple history and the most by a College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) member.

20/20 VisionTemple has recorded its 37th 20-win season in 2018-19. It marks the ninth time (in 13 seasons) that head coach Fran Dun-phy has led the Owls to a 20-win campaign. From 2007-13 Temple recorded six straight 20-win seasons, tying the program record for consecutive 20-win seasons, set under Hall of Fame head coach John Chaney (1995-01). Chaney posted 15 20-win seasons (24 seasons) while fellow Hall of Fame coach Harry Litwack compiled eight (21 seasons).

Alston, Jr. Racking up AwardsThe most recent in a long line of awards for Temple senior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. was being named to the USBWA All-Dis-trict II Team at the conclusion of the regular season. He was also named to the American Athletic Conference First Team. Alston is the first Temple player to earn the All-District honor since Khalif Wyatt was named to the 2012-13 squad. He is the sixth Owl to garner the recognition since 2000.

Alston picked up his third AAC Player of the Week honor of the season on Feb. 18 and his fourth Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week recognition on March 4. He has also been named to the AAC Weekly Honor Roll six times, with the sixth time being March 11 after averaging 27.5 points in a 2-0 week.

For his most recent AAC POW honor, Alston averaged 26.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.5 assists in a 2-0 week. He led the Owls to a home victory over SMU and an overtime win at USF. Against the Mustangs the senior scored 13 straight Temple points, 15 of 18, and assisted on the lone basket not scored by him, in a stretch run to keep SMU at bay. Against the Bulls, he scored eight points in the OT period and came up with a clutch three-pointer for a 68-65 advantage. He hit two free throws in the final 45 seconds to seal the road win. Alston's seven rebounds at USF were a season high. His 37-game streak with one made three-pointer is tied for third nationally.

Trio of PickpocketsJunior Quinton Rose, sophomore Nate Pierre-Louis and senior Shizz Alston, Jr. are averaging 2.1, 1.6 and 1.5 steals per game, respectively. Rose is currently third among all players in the AAC in steals per game (26th in NCAA Division I) while Pierre-Louis ranks fifth and Alston ranks eighth. The trio have a combined 164 steals between them, while Temple's oppo-nents have recorded just 169 steals overall. As a team, the Owls rank 16th nationally with 8.7 steals per game.

Quinton Rose Hits 1,000 as a JuniorJunior guard Quinton Rose needed just three points at Drexel on Dec. 22 to become the 54th player in program history to score 1,000 career points. He finished with 14 that day and now has 1,343 career points less than three years into his Temple career, averaging 13.8 ppg and ranking 33rd all-time in program history.

StreakingSenior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. currently has a streak of 43 straight games with a made three-pointer to rank first on the Owls' all-time list. The first game of the streak was a win at Tulane on Feb. 4, 2018, and he hit a three-pointer in his 40th straight game in Temple's home win vs. Tulane on March 3, surpassing the 39-game streak by Dionte Christmas (Dec. 28, 2006 - Jan. 26, 2008). Alston also joins Mike Vreeswyk as the only two Temple players to have two 20-game streaks.

Alston's streak is the fifth-longest active three-point streak among all players in NCAA Division I as of March 18.

Temple vs. the Polls With the Owls' win over #17/15 Houston on Jan. 9 and another win over #25 UCF on March 9, Temple has now defeated at least one Top 25 opponent for the 12th straight season. The Owls have a total of 69 wins against ranked foes and have taken down a ranked conference foe two years in a row after upsetting #16/16 Wichita State in overtime on Feb. 1, 2018. Early in the 2016-17 season, the Owls beat Top 25 opponents on back-to-back days for the first time in school history (#25/RV Florida and #19/17 West Virginia) to win the 24-25) to win the 2016 NIT Season Tip-Off in Brooklyn.

When Temple defeated #3/3 Syracuse on Dec. 12, 2012 (83-79), it marked the fifth straight season in which the unranked Owls had taken down a Top 10 opponent. Temple has achieved that feat in six of the last 10 seasons, most recently with a 77-52 defeat of #10/10 Kansas on Dec. 22, 2014 at the Wells Fargo Center.

Shizz Cracks the Top 20 All-TimeAfter his 30-point performance vs. Detroit Mercy on Nov. 9, senior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. needed just 11 more to become the 53rd player in program history to score 1,000 career points. He exploded past that mark in the Owls' next game, a win vs. Georgia, scoring 25 points and hitting the 1,000 mark with his first bucket of the second half. Alston was honored with a 1,000-point ball prior to Temple's Nov. 16 game vs. Loyola Maryland. With 1,576 points through 32 games, Alston is now tied for 13th all-time in program history.

Top of the WorldTemple senior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. currently ranks first in the American Athletic Conference in scoring with a 19.7 points per game average. Alston is looking to become the first Owl to lead his conference in scoring since Khalif Wyatt accom-plished the feat during the 2012-13 season. Wyatt, who earned A-10 Player of the Year honors that season, is one of only six Temple players to lead the conference in scoring since the 1982-83 season. He is joined by Dionte Christmas, the only player to lead the A-10 in scoring three times, David Hawkins, Aaron McKie, Mark Macon and Terence Stansbury.

Consistent QuintonJunior guard Quinton Rose has been a truly reliable offensive threat for the Owls this season, scoring in double figures in all but three of 32 contests and doing so for 20 straight games until an eight-point night at USF on Feb. 16. He has scored 20 or more points eight times, and scored a career-high 29 points for the Owls in their win vs. Tulane on March 3.

Magic Number 70The numbers don't lie - Temple almost always wins when it can reach the 70-point mark. The Owls have gone 47-11 since the beginning of the 2016-17 season, and 21-4 in 2018-19, when scoring at least 70 points.

Overtime is Temple TimeFour of the Owls' games have gone to overtime so far in 2018-19, with Temple winning all four and posting a 9-2 overall record in games decided by five or fewer points. 1) Temple 77, Davidson 75 (OT - Dec. 15): Shizz Alston posted a double-double of 24 points and 11 assists while Quinton Rose recorded a steal and a layup in the final seconds of OT in the Boardwalk Classic contest.2) Temple 85, Wichita State 81 (OT - Jan. 6): Alston scored 22 points including the final seven in OT in the come-from-be-hind victory. The Owls trailed by as many as 15 points and still by 11 points with 3:35 left in regulation.3) Temple 82, USF 80 (OT - Jan. 12): Four players scored in double figures, led by Nate Pierre-Louis (22) and Alston (20) as the Owls survived a wild game of runs. Temple let a 17-point first-half lead slip away, but started OT with a 6-0 run.4) Temple 70, USF 69 (OT - Feb. 16): Shizz Alston, Jr. scored eight of his game-high 24 points in OT, draining a trey to give the Owls the lead for good, 68-65. He then hit two free throws in the final minute to seal the victory. Temple overcame a nine-point second half deficit to tie the game with 40 seconds left in regulation on a three-point play by Nate Pierre-Louis.

Reaching 600After his career-high 34-point effort at UConn on March 7 and a 21-point outing vs. UCF on March 9, senior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. has scored 630 points this season. Alston is just the 12th player in program history to reach the 600-point milestone in a single season, with Dionte Christmas and Mark Macon achieving the feat three times and Lynn Greer doing so twice.

Fran Dunphy Receives Dean Smith AwardTemple basketball coach Fran Dunphy, who is recognized as much for his charity work and community service off the court as he is for his success on the court, was the recipient of the 2018 Dean Smith Award by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, it was announced by USBWA President David Teel of the Newport News Daily Press on Oct. 15. The award was presented to Dunphy on Nov. 1 at the Coaches vs. Cancer Tip-Off luncheon at the Hilton City Avenue in Philadelphia featuring the Philly Six Coaches.

The Dean Smith Award honors an individual in college basketball who embodies the spirit and values of Coach Smith, the long-time Hall of Fame coach at North Carolina. "To receive an award named in honor of Dean Smith is truly humbling," Dunphy said. "No one had more integrity or did more to promote what is good in college basketball. To be recognized like this is a tremendous honor."

Coaches selected for the award are recognized for their principles of honesty and integrity, for treating all people with courtesy and respect, for accomplishments off the court, and for the impact they have made on their community and the lives of their players. Previous award winners include John Thompson (Georgetown) in 2015, Tom Izzo (Michigan State) in 2016 and Don Donoher (Dayton) in 2017.

A Passing FancySenior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. recorded his second career double-double of his career when he scored 15 points and tied his career high with 10 assists in Temple's win over California on Nov. 20. On the year, he ranks second in the American Athletic Conference with a 5.0 assist per game average. The last Owl to average five or more assists per game was Lynn Greer, who averaged 5.5 assists during the 2000-01 season.

Home Sweet HomeThe Liacouras Center has proven to be a tremendous home court advantage. Since the arena opened its doors in 1997, the Owls have posted a 227-76 (.749) all-time record, and set the record for wins in a single season with 16 in 2014-15.

Temple is 133-38 (.778) at home since the start of the 2007-08 campaign. To the right is a list of 10-win seasons in the building (bold under Fran Dunphy).

Mood: 🔥On the first-ever "Meme Night" for Temple Athletics, the Owls made a statement as they came out on fire against UConn on Feb. 6. Temple hit 10 of its first 11 shots, some of those in a 15-0 run for an 18-point lead before the midway point of the first half. The Owls, who had five players reach double figures in scoring, shot a first-half best 62 percent from the field, scored a first-half best 46 points, and led the Huskies by as many as 28 points with eight minutes left in the contest.

Starting StatOver the first 20 games of the season, Temple's starting lineup had the same five players: Shizz Alston, Jr., Nate Pierre-Lou-is, Quinton Rose, De'Vondre Perry and Ernest Aflakpui. It was the longest stretch to open a season with the same starting five in Fran Dunphy's 13-year tenure, surpassing a 16-game start with the same lineup in 2017-18. Dunphy switched the lineup for the first time in the Owls' game at #13/13 Houston on Jan. 31, replacing Perry with sophomore Justyn Hamilton.

Nate Pierre-Louis Named American Athletic Conference and Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week on Jan. 14After helping lead the Owls to wins over #17/15 Houston and against USF in overtime, Nate Pierre-Louis earned his first-ev-er AAC Player of the Week and Philadelphia Big 5 Player of the Week honors on Jan. 14. The sophomore averaged 20 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 blocks. He scored 18 points (4-of-8 FG, 9-of-10 FTs) with four rebounds as Temple handed the Cougars their first loss of the season. Pierre-Louis followed that with a team-best 22 points (6-of-10, 8-of-8 FTs) in the 82-80 overtime win vs. USF. He scored six of his season-tying 22 points in the OT period as well as posting two of his career-high three blocks.

Remembering MikThe Temple men's basketball team is wearing a strip on the left breast of their uniforms with the initials MK in remem-brance of the passing of one of the program's standout guards, Mik Kilgore. Owl players will also wear shooting shirts in his honor. Mik Kilgore passed away on Nov. 2, 2018 due to complications from a heart attack. He was 48.

Going OTTemple is 65-50 all-time in overtime games and 23-7 in head coach Fran Dunphy’s 13 seasons at the helm. The Owls are 4-0 in OT this season after a 77-75 win vs. Davidson on Dec. 15 in the Boardwalk Classic, an 85-81 OT road win at Wichita State on Jan. 6, an 82-80 home win over USF on Jan. 12 and a 70-69 road win at USF on Feb. 16.

Dynamic Duo Shizz Alston, Jr. and Quinton Rose became the 12th Temple duo to ever reach 1,000 points in the same season. Alston reached the milestone in the Owls' win vs. Georgia on Nov. 13, while Rose followed just over a month later and scored his 1,000th point in Temple's win at Drexel on Dec. 22.

Year-Long Free Throw StreakJunior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. set a program record with 52 consecutive free throws made from Dec. 28, 2016 to Dec. 6, 2017. The previous record of 49 in a row was set by Hall of Famer Lynn Greer from March 8-25, 2001. When Alston hit 6-of-6 free throws in the Owls' win vs. Wisconsin on Dec. 6, he surpassed Greer's mark.

Alston missed his first of two free throw attempts vs. Saint Joseph's on Dec. 9, but did lead all players with 20 points in the game. He currently is on pace to set the Temple career free throw percentage record with his .884 mark the best in program history. So far in 2018-19, Alston is shooting 90.7 percent to lead the AAC and rank seventh in NCAA Division I.

Number SwitchIt is not uncommon for a player to switch a number from one year to the next, but it is rare when three do so. This season, senior Shizz Alston, Jr., and juniors Alani Moore II and Quinton Rose all changed to different numbers to start the 2018-19 season. Each for different reasons. Alston went from his #3, which he wore all three seasons, to #10, to honor his father, Levan Alston, who wore it he played for the Owls in the mid-90s. Moore II went from #2, which he wore his first two sea-sons, to #0, which is the number he wore in high school. As for Rose, he went from #13 to #1. He made his switch as #1 has been his favorite number and the first he donned when he started playing the sport at the age of six.

The Ratio Favors ShizzWith a career assist/turnover ratio aver-age of 2.15, senior Shizz Alston, Jr. ranks seventh all-time at Temple. Howard Ev-ans (1986-89) is the Owls' all-time career leader in A/TO ratio at 3.12.

Also on that list is Levan Alston (1994-96), Shizz's father, in 10th place at 1.88.

For ThreeTemple has made at least one three-pointer in 769 consecutive games. The last time the Owls did not make a three-point-er in a game was February 1, 1996. Temple missed all 16 three-point attempts that day in dropping a 59-35 decision to #1 UMass at McGonigle Hall.

Walking OnTemple added three walk-ons for the 2018-19 season as juniors Anto Keshgegian and Tim Waddington along with fresh-man Jasen West made the squad. Keshgegian, a 6-3, 185-pound guard, transferred to Temple from Eastern College. The Media, Pa. native played high school ball at nearby St. Joseph's Prep. Waddington, a 6-5, 195-pound forward, earned first team all-conference honors for Central Bucks South as a senior. He is a Warrington, Pa, native. West, a Winter Springs, Fla. native, helped Lake Highland Prep to a 22-win season as a senior in 2017-18.

All-Time Winningest Coach in Big 5 HistoryWith Temple’s win at UCF on Feb. 6, 2016, head coach Fran Dunphy surpassed former Owl coach John Chaney to become the all-time winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history. Dunphy, who became the fifth coach to win 200 games at two schools while taking each to six NCAA Tournaments, is the one of nine coaches to have won 200 or more games at a Big 5 school since the city league was formed in 1955. Below is the list of 200-win coaches in city-series history.

Fran Dunphy (Penn/Temple) 580-324 (1989-present) Harry Litwack (Temple) 331-161 (1955-73)John Chaney (Temple) 516-253 (1982-06) Jack Kraft (Villanova) 242-96 (1961-73)Jay Wright (Villanova) 447-174 (2001-present) Speedy Morris (La Salle) 238-203 (1987-01)Phil Martelli (Saint Joseph's) 444-328 (1995-present) Jack Ramsay (Saint Joseph's) 234-72 (1955-66)Rollie Massimino (Villanova) 357-242 (1973-92)

1969 NIT Championship Team Honored at Penn Game on Jan. 19Fifty years ago the Temple Owls cut down the nets at Madison Square Garden, defeating the Boston College Eagles, 89-76, to win the 1969 NIT. On Saturday, Jan. 19, Temple Basketball celebrated the Golden Anniversary of that Championship Season with members of the historic Owl team being honored at halftime of the team's game against Penn.

Temple's radio color analyst and captain of the 1968-69 Owls John Baum led the team with 19.3 scoring and 13.3 rebound averages. A Temple and Philadelphia Big 5 Hall of Famer, Baum scored 30 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the title game, but the MVP honors were awarded to BC's Terry Driscoll after the game to a chorus of boos at the Garden.

Baum, who went on to a professional career in the NBA and ABA, was joined in Naismith Hall of Fame coach Harry Lit-wack's starting five for most of the season by Temple Hall of Famer Joe Cromer (15.7 ppg.), Ed Mast (10.1 ppg.), Bill Strunk (7.2 ppg.) and Tony Brocchi (6.9 ppg.). Jim Snook (3.9 ppg.) and Tom Wieczerak (4.7 ppg.), who came off the bench to spark a 25-9 late rally to lift the Owls to the win over nationally-ranked Boston College, were the team's top reserves. The Owls also snapped the Eagles' 19-game win streak and spoiled the coaching finale for their legendary coach Bob Cousey.

25 Times TwoShizz Alston, Jr. and Quinton Rose each scored 25 points in Temple's 81-77 win over Georgia on Nov. 13. The last time two Owls scored 25 or more in a game was the final game of the 2013-14 season when Quenton DeCosey tallied 28 and Will Cummings added 25 in a 94-90 double-overtime loss to UCF in the first round of the American Athletic Conference Championship on March 12, 2014 at the FedEx Forum in Memphis.

Rebound MachineSophomore guard Nate Pierre-Louis pulled down a career-high 13 rebounds in Temple's season-opening win over La Salle. That total was nearly double his previous career best of seven set at SMU on Jan. 10, 2018, and it is the most rebounds by an Owl guard since Dionte Christmas also grabbed 13 in a win over Richmond on Jan. 31, 2009. The last guard to pull down more than 13 rebounds was Mark Tyndale, who recorded 15 boards against Charlotte on Mar. 14, 2008. Pierre-Louis added 14 points in the win, making it his first career double-double.

TEMPLE MEN'S BASKETBALLTemple Welcomes Six New Members to its Basketball Ring of HonorThe Temple University Basketball Ring of Honor will honor its third class of inductees during the 2018-19 season with two former women's basketball standouts, the late Mimi Carroll Kurtz (1982-86) and Claudrena Harold (1994-97), and four former men's basketball greats, Howard Evans (1984-88), Ed Lerner (1946-49), Tim Perry (1984-88) and the late Jerry Rullo (1941-46), joining the elite group.

Carroll Kurtz and Harold will be recognized when the women's basketball team hosts #1 UConn on Sunday, January 20. Evans, Lerner, Perry and Rullo will be honored at the men's basketball game against Tulsa on Saturday, February 23.

The men's honorees feature a pair of teammates as Lerner and Rullo played together for one season in the 40s while Evans and Perry were on the same team all four seasons, including the 1987-88 Owls' squad that ended the regular season ranked #1 in the nation.

A starter since his freshman season in 1945-46, Lerner scored 899 points over an 85-game career with the Owls. He led Temple in scoring during the 1946-47 season with a 10.2 average and twice was the Owls' second highest scorer. He starred in numerous games and some of his top performances came against nationally ranked opponents. As a junior, he averaged 13.3 points per game while becoming the first Temple player to score 200 or more points in three straight seasons. That same season he scored 22 points in a 60-59 upset of Kentucky, one of only two losses for the Wildcat team that would go on to win the 1948 NCAA Championship.

A three-sport star for the Owls from 1941 to 1946, Rullo captained the basketball and soccer teams and also played baseball. His college days were interrupted by World War II, where he served in the United States Army. Rullo returned to Temple for his senior season in 1945-46, where he averaged 8.2 points per game. A physical education for the Frankford Friends School for over 20 years, Rullo played professionally for five seasons upon his graduation and was the last living member of the 1946-47 Philadelphia Warriors championship basketball team at the time of his passing in October 2016. He also was a longtime college basketball referee who worked many Philadelphia Big 5 games in his officiating career.

Evans, who owns the school records for single season (294) and career (748) assists, was the starting point guard for Owl teams that posted back-to-back 32-win seasons in 1986-87 and 1987-88. Evans was instrumental in Temple's incredible success during that two-year period with the Owls ranked as high as fifth in '86-87 and topping the polls for the final six weeks of his senior campaign in '87-88. A first team All-Atlantic 10 and All-Big 5 honoree as a senior, Evans ranks 23rd on Temple's all-time scoring list with 1,459 points and fourth on the school's all-time steals list with 268. In arguably the greatest Big 5 game ever played, Evans dished a school-record tying 20 assists to help #1 Temple defeat #10 Villanova, 98-86, at McGonigle Hall.

Perry, who is Temple's all-time leader with 392 blocked shots, was the recipient of many of Evans' assists as the two combined to lead the Owls to 114 wins, the most-ever victories over a four-year time span. Perry, who is tied for the school career field goal percentage record, owns three of Temple's top single season block totals. The 6-9 forward scored 1,368 points and his 985 rebounds rank seventh all-time at the school. Perry, who is one of eight Temple players selected in the first round of the NBA, played eight seasons in the league where he scored over 3,000 points and grabbed nearly 2,000 rebounds. The 1988 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year was a two-time first team all-conference honoree and a three-time all-Big 5 first team selection.

20th Anniversary of 1999 Elite Eight Team Celebrated on Jan. 27Temple celebrated the 20th Anniversary of one of its best teams, the 1998-99 Elite Eight squad, on Sunday, January 27 when the Owls hosted Cincinnati. Under the direction of Hall of Fame coach John Chaney, the 1998-99 squad posted a 24-13 overall record while playing the nation's number one non-conference schedule. Led by all-Atlantic 10 performers Pepe Sanchez and Lamont Barnes, the Owls posted a 13-3 conference record to win the East Division for the second straight season. Rhode Island would defeat the Owls, 62-59, on a buzzer-beater by Lamar Odom in the A10 Championship game, but the Cherry and White was awarded an at-large bid to the NCAAs.

As the #6-seed, Temple would defeat #11-seed Kent State, 61-54, before knocking off the third-seeded Cincinnati Bearcats, 64-54, to advance to the Sweet 16. Playing in the Mead-

owlands, the Owls blew past 10-seed Purdue, 77-55, to advance to their fourth Elite Eight under Chaney. Like its first Elite Eight in 1988, Temple would again face top-seed Duke. The Blue Devils proved to be too much in the rematch, shooting 60 percent from the floor to end the Owls' magnificent season, 85-64.

Sanchez and Mark Karcher were named to the All-Region team. The Owls' other start-ers that season were Rasheed Brokenborough and Kevin Lyde. Quincy Wadley earned Sixth Man of the Year from the A10 while Keaton Sanders and Ron Rollerson rounded out Chaney's eight-man rotation.

30-30 VisionSenior guard Shizz Alston, Jr. has scored 30 or more points three times this season, in-cluding a career-high 34 points in the Owls' win at UConn on March 7. Alston hit 12-of-14 field goals at UConn along with 6-of-6 free throws. His first 30-point effort came in Temple's win over Detroit Mercy on Nov. 9. He hit seven of 12 from three-point range in that outing. Alston followed it with a 31-point effort in a 65-63 win vs. UMass on Dec. 12, making 11-of-12 free throws.

Alston's first 30-point effort led to him being named AAC Player of the Week on Nov. 12, becoming the first Owl to earn the honor since Obi Enechionyia accomplished it two seasons ago (Nov. 28, 2016). Alston was also just the sixth Owl to garner the award since the conference was formed in 2013. After his 31-point game vs. UMass followed by a dou-ble-double of 24 points and 11 assists in the Owls' win over Davidson on Dec. 15, Alston was again named the co-AAC Player of the Week.

Alston's first 30-point performance marked the first by an Owl since Quenton DeCosey on Jan. 31, 2016. He is now the first Owl to record three 30-point performances since Khalif Wyatt scored 30 or more points seven times in the 2012-13 season.

Four in a RowThis season marked the first time in over 50 years that Temple opened a campaign with four straight home contests. The last time an Owl men's basketball team did that was the 1962-63 season. That season Temple played its first seven games at either the Palestra or South Hall, its on-campus home court at the time.

Big 5 HistoryThe Owls went 2-2 in the Philadelphia Big 5 this season with wins over La Salle and Saint Joseph's and losses to Penn and #21 Villanova. Temple also finished up at 2-2 in Big 5 play last season. The Owls have won or shared a record 27 Big 5 titles (21 shared, six outright) in their history with the last coming during the 2012-13 season. The 2017-18 Big 5 title was won by Villanova, its fifth straight, and the Wildcats won a record 25 straight city-series games until this season. Temple had been the last team to defeat Villanova in December of 2012 before Penn upset the #17 Wildcats 78-75 at the Palestra on Dec. 11, 2018.

Men's Basketball Signs Damian Dunn in Early PeriodDamian Dunn, a 6-4 guard out of Meadowbrook (Ga.) High, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play men's basketball at Temple. "We are excited to welcome Damian to the Temple Basketball family," said Temple head coach Fran Dunphy. "He is not only a talent-ed young man on the court, but outstanding citizen who will be a great fit as teammate. He will play a big part in helping the program continue its storied history of success."

A native of Kinston, N.C., Dunn transferred from Kinston High following the 2017-18 aca-demic year. As a junior at Kinston he averaged 17.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game as a junior while helping lead the Vikings to the top seed in the NCH-SAA 2A Eastern bracket and a share of the ECC title. Dunn earned First Team All-District 3 honors by the N.C. Basketball Coaches Association in 2017-18.

"Damian has good size for a guard at 6-4, and is probably closer to 6-5," said Temple asso-ciate head Aaron McKie. "He is a scorer, who can post you up as well as shoot the three. He also is a good playmaker with a toughness to his game. He is simply an outstanding college basketball, and even a better person. I am really going to enjoy coaching this young man."

One of 25 active NCAA Division I coach-es with 500 victories, Fran Dunphy is in his 13th and final season at the helm of the Tem-ple men's basketball program in 2017-18. The all-time winningest coach in Philadelphia Big 5 history, Dunphy

is also just the fifth coach to win 200 at two different Divi-sion I programs while also taking both schools to six or more NCAA Tournaments. He has joined Lou Henson (New Mexico, Illinois), Bob Huggins (Cincinnati, West Virginia), Eddie Sutton (Arkansas, Oklahoma State) and Roy Williams (Kansas, North Carolina) in this elite club. A part of Big 5 Basketball for the last six decades, Dun-phy starred at La Salle as a player (1967-70) and served on the Explorer staff as an assistant coach before embarking on a 17-year stint as the head coach of the Penn Quakers (1989-06). He became the first person to serve as the head men's basket-ball coach at two Philadelphia Big 5 institutions when he took over the reins of the Temple program from Hall of Fame coach John Chaney on April 10, 2006. All he has done at Temple is win. Having earned back-to-back American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year hon-ors in 2014-15 and 2015-16, Dunphy ranks third on the school's all-time coaching win list with a 270-161 record while guiding the Owls to seven NCAA Tournaments, five conference titles and two NITs, including a trip to the 2015 NIT Semifinals in his 12 years at the helm. His Temple teams have defeated nine Top 10 teams in his tenure and have appeared in the Top 25 during 24 weeks. Dunphy recorded his historic 500th coaching win in im-peccable fashion during the 2014-15 season by knocking off Memphis, 80-75, in the American Athletic Conference Quar-terfinal round on March 13. His overall record stands at 580-324 which includes 17 20-win seasons, 16 NCAA Tournament appearances, 14 conference championships, eight Big 5 titles and two NIT trips. Named Philadelphia Big 5 Coach of the Year in four of his 12 seasons at Temple, Dunphy led his second Owl squad on a late-season run to the Atlantic 10 Championship. He guided the Cherry and White to a 21-13 overall mark in 2007-08, in-cluding a second place A-10 regular season finish with an 11-5 conference record. He followed that by directing his charges in 2008-09 to a 22-12 record, 11-5 in league play, and another conference championship. The 2009-10 season is one that will go down as one of the best in Temple lore. Picked tied for fifth in the A-10 preseason poll, Dunphy motivated his charges to their first A-10 regular season title (9th overall) since 2002 with a 14-2 record. The 2010 A-10 and NABC District Coach of the Year brought the Owls back into the national spotlight with the program's first national ranking since 2001, with the team staying in the polls for 13 consecutive weeks. His Owls would go on to become just the second A-10 team to win three consecutive confer-ence championships while also posting just the fifth perfect Philadelphia Big 5 season in the program's history. The number one accomplishment achieved by the 2009-10 Temple team, that finished the season with a #12 ranking in the Associated Press poll, was its 29 victories (against six defeats), which ranks third in the school's history. In 2010-11, Dunphy led the Owls to a 26-8 record, includ-ing another 14-2 mark in A-10 play, and a fourth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. This time the Owls, the 7-seed in West Region, defeated 10th-seeded Penn State, 66-64, in the second round for the program's first NCAA win since 2001.

The Cherry and White game second-seeded San Diego State all they could handle in the next game before falling to the #5/6-ranked Aztecs, 71-64, in double-overtime. It was a great season for Temple as the Owls were ranked among the nation's Top 25 for eight weeks during the season, climbing as high as #19 in the January 10 Associated Press poll. The Owls also overcame mid-February injuries to two starters, closing the season with seven wins in their final 10 games. The only losses in that stretch came to NCAA Sweet 16 participants Duke, Richmond and San Diego State. In 2011-12, despite losing projected starter Scootie Randall for the season and center Micheal Eric for 13 games, Dunphy guided his charges to a 24-8 mark and the program's first outright A10 regular season title since 1989-90. The Owls fin-ished 13-3 in league play and Dunphy earned his second A10 Coach of the Year honor for his efforts. Temple defeated #3/3 Duke to mark its fourth straight season with a win over a Top 10 opponent, and later cracked the national polls for the third straight year. Temple, which also shared the Big 5 title, earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight sea-son, and was the fifth-seed in the NCAA Midwest Region. In 2012-13, Dunphy again guided the Owls to another 20-plus win campaign with the Cherry and White becoming one of eight teams to compete in the last six straight NCAA Tour-naments. Temple also knocked off a Top 10 team, this time #3/3 Syracuse, 83-79, at Madison Square Garden (12/22/12) to extend its current nation’s best record to five straight seasons of defeating a Top 10 foe while being unranked at the time. Temple would finish the campaign with a 24-10 record, advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament be-fore narrowly falling to top-ranked Indiana, 58-52. The Owls capped their final season in the Atlantic 10 Conference with a thrilling 84-76 win over #19/21 VCU on CBS to finish tied for third in the league with an 11-5 record. The program struggled in 2013-14, its first season in the American Athletic Conference. In a classic rebuilding year, the Owls posted a 9-22 record. The Cherry and White did con-tinue its streak of wins over a nationally-ranked program to seven with a 71-64 upset over #23 SMU. In 2014-15, Dunphy led his team to the best turnaround among all Division I teams, posting 17 more wins than the pre-vious season to finish at 26-11 overall and 13-5 in the confer-ence. A signature win over #10 Kansas was among the total as the Owls posted a 77-52 victory over the Jayhawks at the Wells Fargo Center (12/22). The Owls finished the regular season 23-10, but were sur-prisingly left out of the NCAA Tournament. As the #1 overall seed in the NIT, Dunphy, in his time coaching in the tourna-ment, guided Temple to wins over Bucknell, George Washing-ton and Louisiana Tech to reach the semifinals, before falling to Miami at Madison Square Garden. Dunphy was named American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, marking his third conference coach of the year honor (A-10: 2010, 2012). He also joined Chaney (516) as one of only two coaches to win 500 or more games at Big 5 schools. Defying expectations yet again in 2015-16, the Owls were picked to finish sixth in The American but instead Dunphy led his team to a 14-4 record and an American Athletic Confer-ence Regular Season Championship. Temple fell to confer-ence tournament champion UConn in the semifinals, but was awarded a 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Owls took seventh-seeded Iowa to overtime before falling 72-70 in their NCAA First Round game. Dunphy was named the American's Coach of the Year for a second year in a row, as well as the NABC District Coach of the Year. The 2016-17 season saw the Owls defeat ranked opponents on consecutive days for the first time in school history. Temple

upset #25 Florida State and #19 West Virginia to win the 2016 NIT Season Tip-Off. With its projected starting backcourt side-lined for the season, the Cherry and White still finished 16-16 and fell short of another postseason bid. In 2017-18, Temple defeated a Top 25 program for the 11th year in a row and made a return to the postseason with an NIT bid after putting togeth-er a resume that included wins over three teams that were nationally ranked or eventually nationally ranked for most of the year. One of the most respected coaches in the nation, Dunphy has coached eight Conference Players of the Year, three Con-ference Rookies of the Year, five perfect Conference seasons and 56 All-Conference honorees. Prior to joining Penn's coaching staff, Dunphy served as an assistant under Speedy Morris at his alma mater, La Salle Uni-versity (1985-86 through 1987-88). The Philadelphia native's coaching career began at the United States Military Academy (1971-72), where he served as an assistant under head coach Dan Dougherty. In 1975, he became head coach of his high school alma mater, Malvern Prep. He remained there until be-coming Lefty Ervin's assistant at La Salle University (1979-80). The following year, Dunphy joined current Maryland head coach Gary Williams' staff at American University. He served as an assistant two seasons under Williams, and the final three years under Ed Tapscott, the former head coach of the NBA’s Washington Wizards (2008-09). He returned to La Sal-le in 1985, serving one more season under Ervin and assist-ing Morris for two seasons. He left La Salle to become Tom Schneider's assistant at Penn in 1988. In 1989, Dunphy was named the 16th head coach at Penn. He would compile a 310-163 overall record in his 17-year ca-reer. His Quaker teams won an unprecedented 48 straight Ivy League games and four league titles from 1992 through 1996. His 1993-94 team posted a 25-3 record and earned a Number 25 ranking in the CNN/USA Today Coaches' Poll, the program's first such ranking since the 1978-79 campaign. That year also included a 90-80 first round upset of sixth-seed Nebraska in the NCAA Tournament. In his last eight seasons at Penn, Dunphy guided the Quak-ers to six Ivy League titles and a 93-19 league record. From 1999-2001, he led Penn to 25 straight league wins, including a perfect 14-0 mark in 1999-2000. In 2001-02, Dunphy's Quak-ers posted a 25-7 record and won the school's first outright city-series title with a perfect 4-0 mark since 1973-74. A full-time educator on and off the court, Dunphy is in his 11th year teaching in Temple's prestigious Fox School of Busi-ness. He is team-teaching an honors course with Dr. Lynne Anderson, entitled, Management, Theory & Practice: From the Locker Room to the Board Room. He previously had served as a lecturer in the Wharton Executive Education program and in the management department of the Wharton School. Dunphy is one of the leaders in the local Coaches vs. Cancer campaign and was named to the National Council of Coaches vs. Cancer. He was also honored as the 2002 National Coach-es vs. Cancer Coach of the Year for his service and tireless dedication to those in need. On September 23, 2008, he joined four other coaches to speak to legislators on Capitol Hill on the need for more funding for cancer research. The Owl mentor also devotes time to Big Brothers/Big Sis-ters of Greater Philadelphia's Board of Directors, and his Penn and Temple teams have participated in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program each year. He is also a member of the Phila-delphia CYO Hall of Fame. A 1970 La Salle graduate with a degree in marketing, Dun-phy was an outstanding player under Explorers' head coach Tom Gola. As a junior, he helped the Explorers to a 23-1 record. He served as a co-captain his senior year when he averaged 18.6 ppg and led the team in assists, while also being named the MVP of the annual Quaker City Basketball Tournament. In 1979, he earned a Master's degree in counseling and human relations from Villanova University. Dunphy and his wife, Ree, reside in Villanova, Pa., with their son, J.P.

Mr. Big FiveTemple head coach Fran Dunphy is synonymous with the Philadelphia Big 5. Dunphy, who lived his first 10 years in Southwest Philadelphia before moving to nearby Drexel Hill, Pa., starred at La Salle from 1967 through 1970. He would later serve as an assistant at his alma mater (1979-80; 1985-88) before taking the assistant coaching job at Penn for the 1988-89 season. After one season he would take over as the Quakers head coach, compiling a 310-163 record in 17 seasons. He is now in his 13th season at Temple. He received a master’s degree in counseling from Villanova, and currently resides in Villanova, Pa.

A Man For All CausesDunphy has been a major contributor of his time and energy to the American Cancer Society through Coaches vs. Cancer. He has spearheaded the local efforts of the six DI coaches that have led to raising over $1 million to benefit the American Cancer Society. Named the Coaches vs. Cancer National Coach of the Year for his efforts, Dunphy has helped to steer events in the area such as the Coaches vs. Cancer Golf Outing; the Coaches vs. Cancer BasketBall; coordinated open practices with the six area teams and holding a March Madness Breakfast to raise awareness for the cause. He was honored in 2008 as a local hero by Bank of America for his role with Coaches vs. Cancer, and was honored in 2017 with the Circle of Honor Award by the American Cancer Society.

Another cause that Dunphy champions is Big Brothers/Big Sisters. The Owl coach devotes his time to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Philadelphia by serving on the organziation’s Board of Trustees. His Penn teams participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs each year during his tenure at the school. His Temple teams have been ac-tively participating in the program the past three seasons.

Dunphy is also a member of the Philadelphia CYO Hall of Fame.

Moving UpWith a win vs. Tulsa on Feb. 4, 2016, Fran Dunphy earned his 206th victory at Temple and moved into third place on the all-time Temple coaching win list, surpassing James Usilton, Sr. (205, ‘26-39). Hall of Fame coach John Chaney (516, ‘82-06) tops the list followed by fellow Hall of Famer Harry Litwack (373, ‘52-73). Dunphy is now 270-161 (‘06-present).

A-10 SuccessUnder Dunphy, the Owls won the outright A-10 regular season title in 2011-12 for the first time since 1989-90. During Temple’s years in the A-10 under Dunphy, the Owls went 80-32 in A-10 play and won three A-10 Champion-ships (2008, 2009, 2010).

Professor DunphyFor the 12th straight year, Dunphy is teaching an honors course in the Uni-versity’s prestigious Fox School of Business with Dr. Lynne Andersson. The course, titled Management, Theory and Practice: From the Locker Room to the Board Room, is offered in the fall semester.

Top 25 CoachTemple coach Fran Dunphy enters the 2018-19 season ranked 21st in total wins among active Division I coaches with 557. He reached the 500-win mark when the Owls beat Memphis in the AAC Tournament quarterfinals in 2015, and is now one of 30 active Division I coaches to record 500 career wins.

Dunphy Honored With ACS National Circle of Honor AwardTemple head coach Fran Dunphy and Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli were presented with the 2017 Circle of Honor Award by the American Cancer Soci-ety on June 11, 2017 at the 18th Annual Circle of Honor Dinner at Merion Golf Club. This prestigious national honor within the Coaches vs. Cancer program recognizes college coaches for their extraordinary commitment to the Ameri-can Cancer Society's mission of saving lives against cancer through fundrais-ing and cancer education. Dunphy has been an active member of Coaches vs. Cancer since 1996. He is currently the Coaches vs. Cancer of Philadelphia co-chair, which enables him to lead events including the annual gala, tip-off, pre-season luncheon and school initiative, and has raised over $14 million in the fight against cancer. He is a former chair of the Coaches vs. Cancer Na-tional Council, and is a past recipient of the 2002 National Coaches vs. Cancer Coach of the Year Award for his leadership to the program.

Quinton Rose Named to Preseason AAC First TeamJunior guard Quinton Rose became the first Owl named to the Preseason All-Conference First Team in the league's six-year history. Rose, the Owls' leading returning scorer (14.9 ppg) is not only the first Temple player named to the preseason AAC First Team, but he is one of only three Owls to garner preseason honors. The other two Temple players selected preseason all-conference were Will Cummings and Quinton DeCosey, who were second team picks in 2014-15.

Arashma Parks SidelinedFreshman forward Arashma Parks had successful surgery on his right shoulder on Oct. 10. The surgery was performed by Temple's team physician, Dr. Milo Sewards, at Temple University Hospital. Parks, who suffered the shoulder injury at practice on September 29, is expected to make a full recovery. There is no timeline for his return.

The Owls’ lone freshman on the 2018-19 team, Parks averaged 11.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.3 blocks as a senior at the Phelps School in Malvern, Pa in 2017-18. He shot 56 percent from the field, helping his team to a 21-12 record. Prior to transferring to the Phelps School, he played for Springfield (Mass.) Commonwealth Academy from 2014-17. He is the younger brother of Omari Spellman, who helped lead Villanova to the 2018 NCAA National Championship before being selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Draft.

Fran Dunphy Receives PSWA Good Guy AwardTemple University men's basketball coach Fran Dunphy was honored by the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association on Jan. 21 with the organization's Good Guy Award. The award was presented at the 115th annual PSWA banquet held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, N.J.

Dunphy, in his 13th and final season as the Owls' head coach, received the Dean Smith Award presented by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association on Nov. 1, and has been honored by many of Temple's opponents during this season for his contributions to the sport.

Temple University Mourns the Passing of Men’s Basketball Great Mik KilgoreMik Kilgore, who starred with the Temple men’s basketball team from 1988 through 1992 and returned 25 years later to earn his bachelor’s degree, passed away Nov. 2, due to complications from a heart attack. He was 48. “It is a very sad day for Temple University and Temple Basketball,” said Temple head coach Fran Dunphy. “Mik coming back to get his degree was a great Temple story and a lot of people shared in his success. He deserved a lot of credit for getting that degree and he was on his way to using it well with his new job at Girard College. He had made a great impression on a lot of people with his spirit and his hard work. Somebody wanting to make a difference in life and I think he was doing all of that until tragically he lost his life.” Mr. Kilgore was a standout high school player under Temple graduate and Philadelphia coaching legend Joey Gold-enberg at West Philadelphia High. As a senior he averaged 17.8 points and 11.5 rebounds per game in earning Public League Player of the Year from the Markward Club. Before arriving at Temple, Mr. Kilgore earned the Sonny Hill Mr. Basketball Award for representing the program as a player, student and citizen while playing in the league during the summer of 1988. At Temple, Mr. Kilgore started all 124 games during his four-year career under Hall of Fame head coach John Chaney. A 6-9 forward/guard, he scored 1,471 points, pulled down 627 rebounds, dished 380 assists and made 148 steals for his career. His Temple teams won 79 games and advanced to three NCAA Tournaments, including the 1991 Elite Eight.

Mr. Kilgore earned third team All-Atlantic 10 honors during his senior year in 1991-92 when he led the Owls in scoring with a 14.5 average, one of three seasons averaging in double figures. A two-time second team all-Big 5 performer, he was the team’s second leading scorer on the 1991 Elite Eight squad with a 14.0 scoring average.

Mascot Double Trouble: Hooter and StellaTemple Athletics has both a traditional and a live mascot cheering on its teams, as Hooter the Owl and Stella can both often be found on the sidelines. To honor Temple’s beginning as a night school for ambitious young people, the nocturnal owl was adopted as its mascot. The owl represents wisdom and knowledge and is known for being per-ceptive, resourceful and courageous. Hooter the Owl is a part of Temple’s Spirit Squad, making appearances games, alumni events and more. Each February, mascots from all over the city of Philadelphia come to Temple to celebrate Hooter's birthday at a home basketball game, which will take place this season on Sunday, Feb. 18 against Houston.

Stella, a great horned owl, began her career as Temple’s live mascot in 2013. Though she’s small—just 2 feet tall and only 3 pounds—Stella is a mighty predator, with an impressive 60-inch wingspan and talons capable of crushing prey with 28 pounds of force per square inch. She resides in the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Pa., where she also is a wildlife conservation teacher. Stella originally hails from Washington state. Her favorite foods include rodents, rabbits and snakes.

A-10 SuccessTemple went 4-1 against its former conference this season, beating La Salle, Saint Joseph's, UMass and Davidson and losing only to VCU. Temple still holds the record for most conference wins in Atlantic 10 history, posting a 376-132 mark from 1982 through 2013. The Owls' win percentage of .740 is second to Villanova (29-8, .748), which competed in the conference during its Eastern 8 years (1976-80).

2018-19 TEMPLE MEN'S BASKETBALL CLIPS

A big award for Fran Dunphy, and why he got itBy Mike Jensen, Philadelphia Inqurier - Nov. 2, 2018

It's difficult sometimes to write colorfully about Fran Dunphy. At the least, Temple's head basketball coach is not the type to write your story for you. Dunphy was in the Army, and while he isn't quite a name, rank and serial number guy, he doesn't give up too much.

Thursday was a bit different. Dunphy has been named the fourth winner of the Dean Smith Award by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, given to an individual who embodies the spirit and values of the late North Carolina coaching legend.

That name on the award would mean something to any coach, and it clearly did to the Owls coach, who was given a likeness of Smith at Thursday's Coaches vs. Cancer preseason luncheon.

What Dunphy did for much of his acceptance speech was talk about Smith, what Smith meant to his profession, how Smith "taught all of us how to do the right thing."

Dunphy gave a personal example — how he had been La Salle's third assistant coach when Smith brought his North Carolina Tar Heels to the Palestra; how, before the game, as the coaching staffs shook hands, Smith said, "Fran, have a great game tonight."

Dunphy joked about how he was supposed to chart the offense, and when the game got to halftime, he'd written down nothing. Dean Smith knows my name.

Later, he got to thinking about what Smith had done, how Smith had no idea about the name of the third La Salle assistant, but had taken the time to look up the staff in the media guide. "He knew that if he said my name, I was never going to forget it."

Dunphy said he stole that little trick. Not that every third assistant is going to remem-ber the time Fran Dunphy knew his name, but it was a little thing to show respect.

(In the audience, Palestra legend Dan Harrell mentioned that he had once been at a Marines Corps scholarship dinner attended by 200 people, and Dunphy seemed to know all 200 by name. Harrell asked Dunphy how he did it. "Bartending,'' Dunphy told him.)

Dunphy related one other interaction with Smith, how Dunphy, by then Penn's head coach, was told Coach Smith was there to see him.

"Who might that be?" Dunphy said.

Uh, Dean Smith, was the answer.

It turned out Smith's daughter went to Penn, and the coach didn't feel he should step on the campus without checking in with Penn's coach. Another simple, little gesture.

Dunphy, who is starting his final season at Temple, received this award because the national basketball writers realized this Philly guy is another master of the simple gesture, that it's nothing to turn around on a viewing line to see him waiting to pay his respects.

I'm not trying to paint Dunphy as some kind of secular saint. Any of his players could tell you about his colorful vocabulary. He can be stubborn to a fault. But this award so obviously got it right. Whatever his faults, Dunphy always could see outside his own shadow.

Talking about his Delaware County upbringing: "We were taught not to judge any-

body, not to prejudge anybody. Everyone has a song to sing."

Dunphy saluted retired St. Joseph's athletic director Don DiJulia — who probably was on that same viewing line — another guy who taught his generation of coaches and administrators how it was done. Thursday, DiJulia was presented with the Champi-ons Award by Coaches vs. Cancer. Hawks coach Phil Martelli, who has honchoed the local group's efforts with Dunphy, noted that since the group formed in 1996, it has had 65 breakfasts, lunches, galas, and golf outings — raising $15 million, the most of any city in the country — and that only DiJulia made it to all 65.

Martelli and Dunphy had each missed one — "Jay missed one because he was meet-ing the Pope," Martelli said, looking at Jay Wright as the City Six coaches assembled on the dais.

DiJulia remembered how 12 people showed up at the first luncheon, how they'd walked out to the parking lot to see whether anyone else was coming. Nobody was.

Thursday, 500 people were in the room. More than a couple of tables were there for Dunphy, including his Malvern Prep coach, Dan Dougherty, who later hired Dunphy as his grad assistant when Dougherty was the head coach at Army.

Dougherty noted that Dunphy was at the Presidio in San Francisco, next stop Viet-nam, when a couple of calls were made, and he was reassigned to West Point.

There was a knock on Dougherty's door in the middle of a snowstorm.

"My mother thanks you,'' said the familiar man at the door. "My father thanks you."

Listening to Dougherty tell the story was another former Army head coach, Zach Spiker, now Drexel's coach.

Sportswriting legend Dick "Hoops" Weiss introduced Dunphy, noting that he merely goes back with Dunphy to the Llanerch Hills Little League.

"He was a strong player,'' Weiss said. "I wasn't."

That's Philly. If you think you go back with him, somebody two seats away probably goes back longer.

"He was an easy choice,'' Weiss noted about the award.

A son of Philly hoops: How his father’s path and his city upbringing shaped Temple’s Shizz Alston Jr.By Dave Zeitlin, The Athletic - Jan. 9, 2019

If the shot clock were running, it may have expired. At the very least, Levan Shawn Alston Jr., better known to Temple basketball fans as “Shizz,” would have been hit with a backcourt viola-tion as he stood there, frozen, unsure where to go or what to think.

But this wasn’t on a basketball court and there was no clock, save for the one on the wall. Shizz Alston Jr. was at his North Philly home, looking on with a young boy’s wonder at his father, who was back from one of his overseas expeditions.

“When I’d walk in the door, he’d just stand there for at least 15 seconds just because he was so surprised,” says Levan Alston. “Then he’d run to me, jump on me, happy and crying. Those were the best times.”

A key contributor on Temple’s 1994-95 and 1995-96 NCAA Tournament teams, Levan launched a decade-plus professional basketball career after graduating — first in China with later stops in Greece, Cyprus and Italy.

That time was also special for another reason. His first child, whom he would soon nickname “Shizz,” was born in 1996, a few months into his professional career. It wasn’t easy, of course, to leave his boy on the other side of the world. But the arrangement, in some ways, proved ben-eficial as Shizz, from a young age, was inspired by his dad’s hardwood success and motivated to follow in his footsteps.

That motivation helped lead Shizz to where he is today: a star senior at his dad’s alma mater.

“He had to grow up faster,” Levan says. “He was the man of the house at the time. And you can see it now by his leadership qualities. Growing up in the way he did, he always had to be a leader. I think that’s helping him now in his senior year.”

Through the first part of the 2018-19 campaign, his senior year could not be going much better. A leading contender for Big 5 Player of the Year (one of his big goals coming into the season), Shizz ranks second in the city in scoring with 19.4 points per game and first in assists with 5.1 per contest.

Twice this season, the senior guard has eclipsed 30 points in a game, and his career-high 31-point effort versus Massachusetts on Dec. 12 came with three clutch free throws to win it in the closing seconds. Three days later, in a victory over Davidson, the 6-foot-4 guard had 11 assists and one turnover, which Temple head coach Fran Dunphy called an “extraordinary stat.” The next game, he torched Drexel for 25 points and had zero turnovers. And most recently, he scored the final seven points in overtime to lead the Owls to a thrilling come-from-behind win at Wichita State on Sunday, helping Temple improve to an impressive 11-3 record heading into Wednesday’s home showdown with unbeaten Houston.

What’s the reason for Alston’s big jump as a senior? If you’re the poetic type, you might consider the fact that he switched from the No. 3 to the No. 10 this season — the same number his dad wore on his Temple jersey a couple of decades ago.

“At first, it felt different,” says Shizz, who enjoyed solid but less prolific seasons as a sophomore and junior. “Then I started scoring a little more and I was like, ‘I kind of like this number!”

Perhaps for some, a father’s legacy could weigh you down. But it’s only lifted Shizz to greater heights.

“I think he handles it great,” Dunphy says. “Is it hard? I guess it could be. But I don’t think Shizz makes anything hard. I think he just has a great outlook on life.”

He adopted that outlook early on. When he was 5 or 6, Shizz made a point to talk to his dad on the phone as often as he could (in the pre-Facetime era, those calls weren’t cheap), usually spouting off random NBA stats and discussing trades he’d learn about from watching ESPN all morning. From an even younger age, he’d enjoy the flow and rhythm of a basketball game, his eyes locked on the court from his stroller while his dad, during breaks from his team in China, would partake in epic pickup games at McGonigle Hall with well-known Philly hoopsters like Lynn Greer, Marc Jackson, Alvin Williams and Kerry Kittles.

“When he was a newborn, he would just watch basketball,” Levan says. “That was the one thing that kept him quiet. He never cried at games.”

Some of young Shizz’s favorite things to watch were the tapes his dad would send back of his games in China. His pride was on full display in kindergarten when he brought a team poster that featured his father, the words in Chinese, to hang up in his classroom — which his elemen-tary school friends thought was the “coolest thing in the world,” Shizz now says. And fierce loyalty swelled inside of him when he got to travel to Greece a couple of years later to watch one of his dad’s road games, with the home fans heckling Levan throughout.

The pride went both ways. When back in Philly, Levan says he went to all of Shizz’s Biddy bas-ketball games, usually imploring the referee to not let his son get away with double-dribbling even if that’s what all of the other 5-year-olds were doing. Once, he watched in amazement as

Shizz tripped, hit his face on the court and his tooth fell out. “And he picked up the tooth and gave his mom the tooth and ran back on the court without crying,” Levan recalls. “And I was like, ‘This kid might have it right here!’ That was one of my proudest moments.”

It would be easy to say Shizz was born with that toughness but, in fact, it was learned. Through his father’s friendships, Shizz got to know former NBA players Rasheed Wallace (Levan’s high school teammate at Philly Public League powerhouse Simon Gratz), Aaron McKie (one of Le-van’s best friends who also played at Gratz and Temple), and Jerome Allen (another one of Levan’s best friends and Shizz’s godfather). When McKie — now a Temple assistant who will take over as the Owls’ head coach next season — played for the Sixers, he’d sometimes leave tickets for Shizz (who “got to chill with Allen Iverson a couple of times”). And later, Shizz went to almost of all of Penn’s home games when Allen, a former star guard at Penn, was the Quakers’ head coach between 2009 and 2015.

More than being a well-traveled student of Philly hoops, however, Shizz had the unique priv-ilege of working out with many of the city’s premier guards, soaking in their smarts, determi-nation and grit.

“Him watching these guys and seeing how successful they were, he always wanted to get in the gym, he always thought it was a way of life,” Levan says. “Shizz is a product of Philadelphia basketball. … One thing we’re always known for is having toughness, guards from Philadelphia. I wanted him to know they were tough, how hard they played. Guys play tough in Philadelphia. That’s the kind of basketball player I wanted him to be.”

The most valuable hoops lessons Shizz ever got, though, didn’t come from an NBA star. They came from his dad, who served as an assistant coach at the Haverford School during Shizz’s final two seasons there and pushed him in workouts every day in the summer. That’s the main reason, Shizz says, that he became an ESPN Top 100 recruit for the Class of 2015 (one of his biggest high school goals) and the Gatorade Pennsylvania State Player of the Year.

And when it was time to decide where he’d go to college, even though he had enticing offers from Notre Dame, Marquette, VCU and other Division I programs, Shizz knew in his heart he wanted to wear the same uniform as his father, in the city where he grew up, on the same campus he visited as a baby.

“When it came down to it,” he says, “I’m a Philly guy.”

Shizz’s decision to go to Temple was exciting for Levan, who wasn’t necessarily shy about making his opinion on the matter known. And not surprisingly, he’s been a courtside fixture at Temple games over the past four seasons, cheering on his son, telling him to be smart, get his teammates involved and be aggressive.

“I hear him sometimes,” Shizz laughs. “It was a little worse in high school and AAU because he was right there. There’s a little more people in the crowd now.”

The father and son also like to engage in some playful banter with Shizz reminding his dad that he’s shattered all of his Temple records. That’s fine with Levan, a steady pass-first point guard in his day, who happily admits that “Shizz is a much better scorer than me.” But there are still two things dad can boast about at family gatherings: he’s never lost to his son one-on-one, mainly because he’s stopped playing him. And he made two NCAA Tournaments at Temple after arriving as a transfer from the University of New Orleans, while Shizz has only gotten to the Big Dance once, as a freshman reserve on the Owls in 2016.

“The only thing I haven’t passed him (on) yet is NCAA Tournaments,” Shizz says. “Everything else I’ve passed him.”

Shizz, of course, would love to make one more NCAA Tournament to match his dad, especially since this is Dunphy’s last year in charge. So would Levan, who would also almost certainly be one of the most excited Temple fans at March Madness.

No matter how this season plays out, though, Levan knows he doesn’t have to worry about Shizz’s future anymore. Shizz graduated from Temple early with a degree in marketing. He had an internship with a real estate company last summer. He’s gotten into wine and the Center City restaurant scene.

And if the NBA doesn’t come calling, the Temple senior who’s been to more than 10 countries and whose Twitter handle is “InternatlShizz” certainly might be able to enjoy a productive pro career overseas.

Just like his dad. Following in his footsteps once again.

“When he puts his mind to something,” Levan says, “there’s usually a good outcome.

“I’m extremely proud of him.”

The biggest play of Temple’s basketball season? Maybe it was.By Mike Jensen, Philadelphia Inqurier - Jan. 10, 2019

It’s crazy to think about, how a basketball game and even a basketball season can hinge on a single play, and you don’t know the result of the play, because a referee has blown his whistle and you have to wait another second to see what that referee has decided to call.

Wednesday night inside the Liacouras Center, Houston coach Kelvin Sampson plead-ed for the call to be a blocking foul on Temple big man Ernest Aflakpui — since the shot by a Houston guard had dropped in as the whistle sounded and if the call was a block on Aflakpui, the Houston guard would go to the foul line with a shot, 0.6 seconds left, a chance to win the game. Houston’s bench initially celebrated, just for a heartbeat.

The next beat, the call came: a charge on the Houston guard. Replays showed it was the correct call. The basket didn’t count. Temple had knocked off an undefeated team.

We’ll find out in a couple of months, see if Temple keeps taking care of business, but the Owls' 73-69 victory over Houston might turn out to be the most important col-lege basketball game held in Philadelphia this season. Villanova has a bunch of big games. Penn’s fate might be decided in New Haven at the Ivy League Tournament. The rest of the locals will need to win their conference tournaments to go to the NCAAs. (No, we don’t know what’s gone wrong with St. Joseph’s.)

But Temple is 12-3 now and 12-3 with a "W" over Houston is way, way different from 11-4 with no W’s over currently projected NCAA teams.

The path to March Madness is clear. Get some good wins, avoid the bad losses.

Temple players can’t think that way, of course. They have to pay attention to detail, such as where your feet need to be, just outside the little circle around the basket you’re defending, so that a referee can call a block instead of a charge.

“I was supposed to clean everything up,’’ Aflakpui said later. “We were supposed to switch everything. We ended up getting beat to the basket.”

Aflakpui pointed out the defense had made sure there would be no three-pointer, no game-winner from the arc, with Houston down two.

“I saw him coming,’’ Aflakpui said of driving Houston guard Corey Davis Jr.

Aflakpui says he’s figured out ways to make opposing players commit, then take a charge. Owls coach Fran Dunphy, who has seen a game or two, said Aflakpui is the best he’s ever seen at taking a charge.

But had he ever taken a game-winning charge?

“I don’t think so,’’ the senior said. “That’s the first one.”

He knew he was outside the little arc, Aflakpui said. He was standing there for a second, he said, before the collision.

Quinton Rose, who had scored 22 points to lead Temple, sat next to Aflakpui at the postgame press conference, but most of the questions were naturally about a play made by a guy who had scored 6 points.

Has Rose charged into Aflakpui at practice?

“Of course,’’ Rose said. “In practice, it’s frustrating because he’s always taking charges on us. In a game, when he does stuff like that and saves us, I love him.”

In fact, Rose’s finding a nice offensive rhythm against Houston might have been the biggest development of the night, since he’d been struggling to find it. Yes, it was part of the game plan to drive to the rim, to counter Houston’s aggressive de-fense. Temple scored 24 of its points in the paint, got to the line for 28 free throws, and made an eye-popping 25 of 28 of them, led by 9 of 10 by both Rose and Nate Pierre-Louis, with Shizz Alston adding his typical 4-for-4.

Inside, Aflakpui hadn’t been getting the best of a matchup with Houston’s Breaon Brady, who showed enough moves to lead the Cougars with 19 points. Still, the ad-vantage in second-chance points went to Temple. The Owls played like they knew the stakes.

And when it came down to the last second, the Owls had the Cougars right where they wanted them, at the chest of their 6-foot-10 big man. If a team is supposed to play to its strength, that’s exactly what Temple had done.

Most big guys try to block shots. Why had Aflakpui, an Archbishop Carroll High grad-uate, charted a different course?

“In high school, I did both,’’ Aflakpui said. “Then once I came to college, it’s a differ-ent animal. So I pick and choose. … I think that helps me out. Sometimes you don’t know if I’m going to go for a block or charge. I just think it’s good to have both. It really paid off tonight.”

A season could have hinged on it? They can’t think like that on North Broad Street, even if it’s true.

2018-19 TEMPLE MEN'S BASKETBALL CLIPS

Nate Pierre-Louis making a difference for TempleBy Marc Narducci, Philadelphia Inqurier - Jan. 22, 2019

Sophomore Nate Pierre-Louis was far from an instant success when he began his college basketball career at Temple last year.

His first four games: Did not play – coaches decision.

“It was a humbling experience,” Pierre-Louis said recently.

The 6-foot-4 product of New Jersey power Roselle Catholic had a lot of thoughts going through his head at that time, but none of them consisted of transferring.

“A lot of freshmen who are not playing think of quitting or transferring, but I am not built like that,” he said. “My family told me to buckle down and work.”

Eventually that work paid off. By the 12th game of the season, he was in the regular rotation. Pierre-Louis ended up making the American Athletic Conference all-rookie team. He averaged 7.5 points in 16.9 minutes.

As much as he showed, especially toward the end of the season, nobody could have predicted what Pierre-Louis has accomplished just past the midway point of this sea-son.

He is playing twice as many minutes, 34.9 per game for the 14-4 Owls, who are 4-1 in the American Athletic Conference entering Thursday’s key league home game against Memphis (12-6, 4-1). He is averaging 14.1 points and 1.9 steals, but the im-provement is in his shooting percentage. A 57.6 percent foul shooter, Pierre-Louis is shooting 70 percent from the line. He is shooting 34 percent from three-point range, up slightly from last year (33.3).

“He has made a big step,” an NBA scout said. “He is getting more playing time, and he is taking advantage of the opportunity.”

The biggest improvement has come with his ability to get to the basket.

“He has the ability to get to the rim, and he is finishing plays,” Temple coach Fran Dunphy said. “He is also working on and improving his mid-range game.”

Yet his biggest contribution comes at the defensive end. If not for the presence of 7-foot-6 shot-blocker Tacko Fall of Central Florida, Pierre-Louis would be a leading candidate for AAC defensive player of the year. He is relentless with the way he pressures the ball.

“He has the potential to be an elite defender,” the scout said.

One reason is that Pierre-Louis plays with an all-out fury.

“If you take his heart and put it in the body of 85 percent of other guys who are better prospects, you would really have quite a player,” another NBA scout said. “There is a lack of shooting polish, but intensity and work ethic that he shows can take you places.”

While he isn’t a pure shooter, Pierre-Louis has improved his shot and is becoming more comfortable from the perimeter.

“When I came to Temple, I was shooting with two hands and had a weird, awkward shot,” Pierre-Louis said. “This summer, I worked on the shot and I continue to try to perfect it, make it more like a jump shot.”

What is amazing is how Pierre-Louis never seems to show signs of fatigue despite playing heavy minutes at a frenetic pace.

“I am human, but I feel I don’t get tired for the most part,” Pierre-Louis said. “I try to focus on my conditioning, and on off-days, I will go on a bike and work on my conditioning.”

It’s hard to label Pierre-Louis by position. Shizz Alston is the Owls' point guard, but Pierre-Louis often has ball-handling duties.

“He is a combo guard,” the second scout said.

The scout calls Pierre-Louis a developmental player at this point.

“If he stays in school and polishes his game, you can see him continue to grow,” the scout said.Pierre-Louis said any thoughts about playing at the next level are on hold at this point.

“I don’t think about that right now, but to be honest with you, it has been talked about,” he said. “I have been hearing things, but I am focused on just getting to the [NCAA] tournament and winning.”

Temple last got to the NCAA Tournament in 2016. The Owls still have plenty of work to do, with their final 13 games against AAC teams.

Pierre-Louis has been especially strong in conference games. He is averaging 19.6 points in the five AAC games and is shooting 7-for-14 from three-point range and 29-for-39 (74.4 percent) from the foul line.

“He is just a high-energy kid,” Dunphy said. “Every single game, you can see the improvement, and he is a guy we rely on greatly at both ends of the court.”

Philadelphia story: Temple coach Fran Dunphy set for goodbyeBy Dan Gelston, Associated Press - March 8, 2019

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Fran Dunphy has a book about Tiger Woods on his night table and piles of books in his office at Temple that are mostly unread.

With the Owls on the brink of securing an NCAA Tournament bid, Dunphy’s in-season page turners are mostly scouting reports.

“When I wake up at night, I’m looking at film,” Dunphy said.

It’s the kind of late, late show that’s nearing the final credits.

Dunphy is set to step down at the end of the season — and with the Owls at 22-8, March Madness could prolong that final bow — and call it a career on one of the great runs in Philadelphia basketball history.

Up next for the 70-year-old Dunphy, the home finale Saturday against No. 25 UCF and a chance for the Owls to knock off one more Top 25 team and send him out of Philly a winner.

Dunphy’s arc has touched nearly every Big 5 school in some way — from distin-guished tenures on the bench at Penn and at Temple, to scholarly stops at Villanova and La Salle. He’ll turn the program over next season to former Temple and Philadel-phia 76ers star Aaron McKie.

And then?

“I would love to represent Temple in any way they see fit,” he said.

Dunphy has lasted almost 50 years without a sniff of scandal and perhaps a collec-tion of as many good guy awards (including the 2018 Dean Smith Award for charity work and community service) as conference championships.

As his coaching career ticks down to the final seconds, Dunphy has been loath to boast about his accomplishments, even as this season has turned into a farewell tour that earned him standing ovations at hated city rivals Villanova and Saint Joseph’s.

He called the celebrations “understandingly uncomfortable” and would “just as soon crawl underneath the bleachers” rather than have the game come to a pause just for his brief wave of acknowledgment to a generous crowd.

Dunphy has waved off much of the tributes Temple had planned for Saturday and asked for the focus to stay on seniors such as star Shizz Alston Jr.

“I haven’t given it a whole lot of thought that this is going to be my last game,” Dunphy said.

Plenty of Dunphy fans — from former players to famous coaches — have shown their respect though testimonials posted on Temple’s website.

—“You’ve always been a coach’s coach and I tell people all the time that you are the most genuine person in our profession.” — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.

—“I consider you to be my ‘brother.’ To stand beside you has been an extreme plea-sure and unsurpassed honor.” — Saint Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli.

—“All your success on the court are obvious. But more important, I believe, is the way you conducted yourself and the reaction that other people had toward you.” — Spurs coach Gregg Popovich.

Dunphy (579-323) is not necessarily retiring from coaching — or retiring, period. He will continue to teach his “Management, Theory & Practice: From the Locker Room to the Board Room” class at Temple’s business school and may expand the course to the spring semester. Some of his contemporaries moved on after leaving their long-time schools (like Princeton’s Pete Carril to the NBA or UConn’s Jim Calhoun to a D-III program). Dunphy won’t rule another coaching gig, though it would take a heck of a job to leave Philadelphia.

“You would be foolish if you said never to anything. Who knows? Right now, it’s not a plan that I have,” he said.

Dunphy is ingrained in the Philly hoops fabric like few others in the city’s storied history. He played basketball at Philly high schools and went to games at the Palestra as a kid. He was co-captain under Tom Gola at La Salle, earned a master’s degree at Villanova, won 10 Ivy League titles in 17 seasons at Penn and has lived in the same home since 1984.

He’s been at home — with or without his bushy mustache — on North Broad since he replaced outspoken Hall of Fame coach John Chaney at Temple in 2006.

Dunphy led Temple to some of its biggest upsets, including wins over No. 3 Villanova in 2009, No. 5 Duke in 2012, No. 3 Syracuse in 2012, No. 10 Kansas in 2014 and No. 8 SMU in 2016.

“It’s the faces you remember,” more than the scores, Dunphy said.

The lone blemish on Dunphy’s career is his lack of success in the NCAA Tournament. The Owls have won only two games in the tournament under Dunphy and the Quak-ers, out of the Ivy League, had one win in his 10 trips to the tournament.

“Would have loved more success in the postseason, no question,” Dunphy said.

Dunphy still had two years left on his contract when word spread at the Final Four of Temple’s transition plan. It was before he had time to tell his family or his team. The headlines that hit Philly (“Replacing Fran Dunphy another wrong decision by Temple”) fueled speculation Temple pushed out Dunphy.

“I think the timing of this has been great, to be honest with you,” Dunphy said. “We sat down, we had great talks about how we’re going to do this thing. I’m very much at peace with how this whole thing has been handled. I’m grateful to Temple and I’m happy for Aaron McKie and the new chapter in his life.”

McKie takes over at a program that has had remarkable consistency on the bench. He’ll become just the fifth coach at Temple since 1952. The Owls haven’t played in a Final Four since 1958 and they haven’t reached the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 since 2001.

But the Owls have continued to matter, even in the American Athletic Conference, and won plenty of big games because of the Big 5 lifer on the bench.

“I’ve been celebrated enough by being given this opportunity to coach college bas-ketball in Philadelphia,” Dunphy said. “No one’s been more fortunate than me. That’s how I feel about my life.”

Temple’s must-win game against UCF was in Shizz Alston’s hands, where it belongedBy Mike Jensen, Philadelphia Inquirer - March 9, 2019

Shizz Alston slammed into the ESPN2 announcers’ table, not quite able to save the basketball that the Owls point guard had just tipped away from Central Florida be-fore the ball and Alston found the sideline. He then did a Shizz Alston thing — still sprawled on the table, Alston broke into a little smile and shook hands with both the play-by-play man and the analyst.

“His spirit has really guided us," Temple coach Fran Dunphy mentioned later.

Biggest game of Temple’s season — the latest biggest game of Temple’s season — and once again, Alston, in his last Liacouras Center appearance, in the most crucial Owls game of his career, did far more than show up for Saturday’s senior day. He held the game in his hands.

Temple has gotten used to handling fragile leads. The plan as always, get it to Alston. Just like up at Connecticut two days earlier, get Alston to the line, to seal things off. A couple of deep breaths, a few dribbles, a of couple more free throws. Life as he knows it.

When they couldn’t get an inbound pass to Alston with 29 seconds left, Alston made sure he let himself get hit.

“A little acting class I took a couple of years back came into play right there," Alston said. “They were trying not to let me, they were double-teaming me, so I knew that somebody would grab me.”

The question had come up because a reporter noticed Alston had started a little con-versation with a referee even before the inbound play. He wasn’t leaving anything to chance.

The whole thing added up to Temple 67, 25th-ranked UCF 62. Shizz Alston, 21 points, six assists. Temple up to 23-8, firmly on the right side of the NCAA bubble. There’s no such thing as at-large teams being officially in, but if the Owls aren’t in, the selection committee might need to find a new line of work.

“With this team, with this year, and how it has played out, I can’t give enough credit to Shizz Alston for what he has accomplished," Dunphy said later.

In typical Dunphy fashion, the coach went there when the question was actually about the coaching job Dunphy himself has done this season. Didn’t mean Dunphy was wrong.

“He’s been spectacular, as a player, and I made this statement a couple of times — maybe I made it at Connecticut — we were up 25-24, the momentum was clearly to UConn’s side, and he just stepped up and manufactured a jumper that goes in the basket," Dunphy said. “It gave us a little bit of a cushion, a little separation. That’s as important as the two foul shots he made late in the game. Seasons change on a game, games change on a play. … Hence, from my logic days, a season can change on one play.”

UCF coach Johnny Dawkins was OK with Alston being a senior, moving on.

“I told him that, too, just so you know," Dawkins said. “I’ve always admired his game. He’s such a versatile player on the perimeter. He can play multiple positions out there with his size. He’s poised. I mean, he’s one of those guys, you never seem to rattle him, speed him up. You double-team him, he’s still moving out there at his own pace.”

Alston understands the bracketology business. He admits to studying it. Beat UCF, avoid bad losses, that should do it. He has the Owls in his bracket.

So much was on the line, Alston acknowledged. All the stakes. …. His senior day finishing off a special career, Dunphy’s last Philadelphia game of a 30-year Big 5 head-coaching run, all of it. Nothing mattered, Alston said, but getting the win. Easy to forget about the rest, even the necessity of having to box out 7-foot-6 Tacko Fall a couple of times.

The standing ovation for his coach before the game did mean a lot to Alston, he said.

“I finally want him to be recognized as one of the best coaches around," Alston said.

What was the locker room like?

“We actually gave the coach a water shower," Alston said. “I don’t know if he liked that very much. But we enjoyed it.”

He thought the crowd of 9,951, biggest of the season, was the best he had played in front of here. The whole thing, given the stakes, had he soaked it in yet?

“Not yet," Alston said. “I was mauled by a group of probably 6-year-olds a while ago [after the game]. Going from playing against Tacko to running at 6-year-olds is a little different.”

He’ll enjoy the whole thing, Alston added. “Soon.”

In Fran Dunphy’s final regular-season game, Temple beats UCF to make statement for NCAA tournament bidMarc Narducci, Philadelphia Inquirer - March 9, 2019

Temple made an emphatic statement toward punching its NCAA ticket. Hanging on the bubble for seemingly weeks, the Owls defeated No. 25 Central Florida, 67-62, on Saturday in their American Athletic Conference regular-season finale at the Li-acouras Center.

"I think I am in, I think we are in,” said Temple guard Shizz Alston, who had a team-high 21 points. “I said if we beat UCF and finished out with no bad losses, I think we are in.”

The Owls (23-8, 13-5), who have won six of their last seven games, already have a first-round bye in the AAC tournament. They begin play in the quarterfinals on Friday in Memphis, Tenn. Temple earned the No. 3 seed and will play the winner of the game between No. 6 Wichita State and No. 11 ECU at 9 p.m. ET.

UCF, which entered the game with consecutive wins over ranked teams Houston and Cincinnati, is 23-7, 13-5 in the AAC.

What a going-away present this was for Fran Dunphy, who coached his final regu-lar-season home game for the Owls. True to his nature, he didn’t want any pregame hoopla. Dunphy, who will be replaced by associate head coach Aaron McKie after the season, was introduced before the game and did receive a standing ovation.

Periodically, there were taped tributes to Dunphy from people such as 76ers coach Brett Brown.

The best tribute was the W.

Besides Alston, 6-foot-10 sophomore Justyn Hamilton came off the bench to score 13. Starters Quinton Rose and J.P. Moorman added 11 and 10 points, respectively.

A key was the defense of Nate Pierre-Louis, who held UCF leading scorer B.J. Taylor to eight points on 1-for-8 shooting.

Rose gave Temple a 54-52 lead with 4 minutes 12 seconds left when he scored on a driving dunk after hanging in the air. That dunk energized the crowd of 9,951, and was a game-changer for Rose.

“I was more engaged in the game after that,” said Rose, who was fouled on the play, but missed the free throw.

Later, Temple boosted the lead to 61-53 on an Alston basket with 1:18 left.

UCF eventually cut the lead to 62-59 on a three-pointer by junior Aubrey Dawkins with 19 seconds left. Dawkins, son of UCF coach Johnny Dawkins and a transfer from Michigan, exploded for a career-high 36 points. The 6-foot-6 Dawkins said he wasn’t feeling his best before the game and had been questionable, but obviously felt fine during the matchup.

After that three, Temple’s Moorman then hit two free throw with 18.7 seconds re-maining, making it 64-59, but UCF’s Taylor was fouled by Alston taking a three with 12.1 seconds left.

Taylor made all three, but Alston answered with two free throws, making it 66-62 Temple with 11.7 seconds remaining. Dawkins then missed a three and the Owls’ win was secure.

UCF 7-6 center Tacko Fall was saddled with foul trouble and had just two points and five rebounds in just under 20 minutes. He didn’t block any shots but altered several.

Temple senior Ernest Aflakpui more than held his own against Fall.

“I thought Aflakpui really battled in the low post,” Johnny Dawkins said.

The Owls also forced 18 turnovers against a UCF team averaging 11.4 per game.

“I am shocked [at having 18 turnovers] but that is a tribute to them, they are very active, very long,” Johnny Dawkins said.

Afterward, Dunphy who had several former players attend, was much more emo-tional than usual. He is completing his 13th season at Temple after the previous 17 as head coach at Penn.

“Nobody should be that lucky," Dunphy said about his career. “I have been so fortu-nate over my career to be at two wonderful institutions in a great city. I have lived in the same house since 1984 and still coaching, and nobody in our business does that. So I have been very fortunate.”

Temple’s Shizz Alston has come a long way from a frustrating freshman seasonMarc Narducci, Philadelphia Inquirer - March 12, 2019

Since preseason, Temple senior guard Shizz Alston has been obsessed with return-ing to the NCAA tournament. Alston made it to the big dance his freshman season, but in a way, it was an unsatisfying experience on two counts – Temple lost its open-ing game and Alston barely left the bench.

Both Alston and Temple have come a long way since.

Alston became a starter in his sophomore season. Temple struggled the past two years, going 33-32, with one NIT appearance, but Alston was highly productive, av-eraging 13.9 points as a sophomore and 13.3 as a junior.

This year the Owls have enjoyed a resurgence and Alston has been at the forefront of the success.

Alston’s 19.7 points per game is tied for the scoring lead in the American Athletic Conference and his .906 free throw percentage is first in the AAC. Alston is also third in assists, averaging 5.1 per game, eighth in steals (1.5 per game) and 15th in three-point shooting percentage (.351). He has made at least one three-pointer in a school-record 42 straight games.

On Monday, Alston was named first-team all-AAC. Even though three players were unanimous picks ‚and Alston wasn’t, a league spokesman said the all-conference team selections and player of the year are separate votes. So Alston should be a player of the year candidate. The award will be announced on Wednesday.

Much of Alston’s success could be attributed to how he handled his freshman season when he averaged 10.1 minutes per game, but even that however, was misleading.

Much of the playing time came early. By the end of the season, he was basically doing mop-up time. He played two minutes in the Owls’ 72-70 overtime loss to Iowa in an NCAA tournament game at the Barclays Center.

Alston was a hotshot local recruit from The Haverford School, where as a senior he was named the Gatorade Pennsylvania Player of the Year.

In his first college game, playing against the preseason No. 1 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels, Alston scored 12 points in 15 minutes of a 91-67 defeat in a game played at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Yet as the season progressed, his minutes decreased.

“That was tough,” he recalled in a recent interview before practice. “I came in think-ing I would play a whole lot.”

That thinking didn’t change when he received meaningful minutes in the first few games of the season.

“Once conference play came, I wasn’t playing as much,” he said. “It hit me hard and woke me up and showed me I had to work hard every day and not leave anything up to anybody else and just push through.”

It’s not that he wasn’t working hard, but Temple had a veteran team, with seniors such as leading scorer Quenton DeCosey (15.9 ppg.), Jaylen Bond and Devin Cole-man. Bond and Coleman had been transfers, beginning their careers at Texas and Clemson respectively.

Alston said transferring wasn’t even an option.

“That was not even in my mind,” he said.

Alston was a Temple fan all his life and riding the pine wasn’t going to change that.

His father Levan, played on two Temple NCAA tournament teams in the 90’s after beginning his college career at the University of New Orleans.

“Having Temple go to March Madness was the biggest thing in my household grow-ing up,” he said. “I just want to get back to that for the fans, the alumni for coach [Fran Dunphy] and for everyone on the team to experience it,” he said.

And Alston and Temple are on the verge of reaching that dream. Most bracketolo-gists have the Owls in at this point.

The Owls are 23-8 and finished 13-5 in the American Athletic Conference. They are the third seed in this week’s conference tournament, which begins Thursday in Mem-phis. Temple has a first-round bye and will play the winner of No. 6 Wichita State and No. 11 ECU in Friday’s 9 p.m. (ET) quarterfinal.

In his and Dunphy’s final season, Alston has at times carried the team.

Just this past week in two critical games for a Temple team that has been on the NCAA bubble seemingly for weeks, Alston was at his best. He scored a career-high 34 points in Thursday’s 78-71 win at UConn. Two days later, he recorded 21 points and six assists in the Owls 67-62 win over visiting UCF, a team that had won consec-utive games over ranked opponents Houston and Cincinnati.

As the stakes have increased, so has Alston’s production.

“I think he really wants to win and drag his team to victory, and I am really proud of those accomplishments on the court, but obviously the things he does off the court are impressive as well,” Dunphy said.

Alston always seems to have a smile, but it shouldn’t mask his competitive nature. When the chips are down, he can be a bulldog.

While going through his freshman season wasn’t the most pleasant experience, Alston learned from it. Every year, he seemed to bring back something different in his game. This year, it is the step-back three-pointer, a shot that is virtually impossible to block.

“I worked my butt off to get ready for this season,” Alston said. “I knew this would be my last.”

The biggest difference is that Alston’s confidence is at an all-time high.

“I have more confidence in myself and coach has more conference in me,” he said.

That is such a drastic change from his freshman year, a low point that Alston learned from to eventually become the driving force for a memorable senior season.

NCAA Tournament: Next stop, Dayton. Temple will take it, now that they can breathe.Mike Jensen, Philadelphia Inquirer - March 17, 2019

The shot hung in the air -- for two days. Would it spin in? Or, would this Temple Owls season clank against the rim? After Temple’s quick exit Friday night from the Ameri-can Athletic Conference Tournament, there was no answering those questions, only conjecture before the March Madness bracket was unveiled.

Sunday, the suspense ended almost immediately. The fifth game announced Sunday evening on CBS, a Dayton play-in game between 11 seeds -- Temple and Belmont. The Owls were one of the last four teams in — officially, the third-to-last at-large selected — which meant that ball had been rolling around the rim all weekend.

“It was kind of tough downstairs, holding my breath for awhile,” Owls star Shizz Alston said later of the anticipation.

What were Fran Dunphy’s nerves like all weekend?

“Uhhh — I had a big bear on my chest," Temple’s coach said. “The angst is overpow-ering, to be honest with you. It’s a hard day.”

When you know you’re in, “it’s the greatest day ever,” he said, "When you know you’re out, and you have no chance, it’s the worst day ever. Somewhere in between, probably on the worse side, is when you’re unsure what’s happening.”

This was their third time in recent seasons that the Owls were in the unsure category, Dunphy pointed out. “We didn’t make it in ’15 — we thought we had done enough. We made it in ’16, but there was some angst there.”

As it turned out, the Owls had every reason to worry about the “bid steals,” including whether Wichita or Memphis would grab the automatic AAC bid. That didn’t hap-pen. On Saturday, Buffalo held its ground in the Mid-American, and Utah State in the Mountain West. The only Saturday “bid steal” was Oregon in the Pac-12.

For the players, the relief of hearing the bid quickly was great, they said. Playing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time? Owls guard Nate Pierre-Louis called the whole thing a blessing for “the seniors, Coach Dunph, and the city of Philadelphia.” Could he compare the feeling to anything? “Uh, no,” Pierre-Louis said. “My little sis-ter being born, probably.”

The staff veterans didn’t breathe any easier. Dave Duke, assistant coach for player development, has been with Dunphy for 13 years at Temple, and eight at Penn before that, and was head coach and assistant at Lehigh before that. This will be his 15th NCAA Tournament at those three stops.

“It’s tough [being] on the bubble all year,” Duke said. “It’s a lot of pressure on these kids. You’re at UConn. You’ve got to beat Tulane. UCF, a big opponent.”

You became an amateur bracketologist, Duke added. "You don’t talk about it a whole lot. You don’t say, ‘You watching any bubble teams tonight?’ "

But, yes, they were all watching the potential of the bubble shrinking all weekend. Would San Diego State knock off Utah State in the Mountain West and steal a bid?

"San Diego State played great," Duke said. “Bowling Green and Buffalo, great game.”

No bids were stolen during the day on Saturday, but Oregon grabbed one late at night, beating Washington in the Pac-12 final.

“I stayed up, oh yeah," Duke said. “I hate to root against teams. But I’m rooting for us.”

There was a question that popped up a lot: Could there be any unspoken generosity toward Dunphy in his last go-round. Let’s get Fran in? Committee members wouldn’t even have to say it out loud to the person next to them when voting.

A few weeks back, the subject was brought up to someone who pays strict attention to all this. (His name might rhyme with Do Card Me.) Was there any chance for such sentimentality creeping in, or zero percent? In his firm opinion, zero percent.

If you look at the makeup of the selection committee, you can see why. Does the commissioner of the Southland Conference or the athletic director at North Caro-lina-Asheville know Fran Dunphy? That’s the makeup of the committee. If it was all coaches, sure — Dunphy would probably be a 2-seed. Atlantic 10 commissioner Ber-nadette McGlade is on it, but what exactly is her incentive to reward the school that left her league? There’s no there there for this little theory. Temple got in because of its resume, and the lack thereof for its bubble competition.

If you want to argue that 23-9 Temple could have avoided the play-in game, there is a body of supporting evidence, all sorts of games. But you can also look at all the close ones the Owls pulled out, how every one of them turned out to be crucial.

It’s all moot now. Less than an hour after the selection, Dunphy said he already had called former La Salle coach John Giannini, whose Explorers famously got out of the Dayton play-in game and then won two more to get to the Sweet 16. (Maybe Shizz Alston can call Tyrone Garland for some Southwest Philly Floater tips.)

"We talked about the the brevity of the preparation," Dunphy said of the Giannini call.

All the Owls’ preparations would go through the evening. Time no longer matters, other than the countdown clock ticking fast toward Tuesday night’s game. Dunphy mentioned he would be doing a live shot 6:30 a.m. Monday with Channel 3.

“I won’t be sleeping anyway,” Dunphy said.
