Picked to finish 12th in AAC preseason polls, the Owls will face No. 4 seed Alabama-Birmingham for the conference title on Sunday
FORT WORTH, Texas — Hysier Miller tossed the ball behind his back like he knew Sam Hofman would be there.The 6-foot-5 forward caught the lob and launched it from near the top of the key. It bounced up and back, hanging in the air for what felt like an eternity before banking in with 9 minutes, 39 seconds to go.
Less than 24 hours after a defensive battle, Temple found itself tasked with slowing down the top offense in the conference. Florida Atlantic entered averaging 82.8 points per game, powered by starting guard Johnell Davis who was the fourth-leading scorer in the AAC . White followed his icebreaking layup with a second-chance bucket to make it a seven-point game, but Vladislav Goldin answered with a 5-0 run of his own to extend the advantage to 12 with 4:13 left. Goldin finished with 23 points, and Davis had 18.
