Temple defeated Maryland, 73-60, Satrurday at the Palestra in a game that could pay a Selection Sunday dividend.

“We knew,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon shrugged afterward, “we'd get the good Temple team today.”

He did. Temple ran aggressively and rebounded when necessary, spread the floor when it had to and shot with confidence.

The Owls are 13-5 but have the A-10's leading RPI and strength of schedule, according to RealTimeRPI.com
