Quenton DeCosey notched a double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds on Saturday to boost Temple to a 78-63 win over Delaware State to even the Owls' record at 5-5 on the season.
The Owls would start off poorly in this one, finding themselves trailing the Hornets by seven just more than five minutes into the game. Temple would begin to settle in a bit from there, however, using a 10-2 run to take a 13-12 lead.
Delaware State would regain the lead at 24-23, but Temple would close the half strong to head to the locker room with a 35-27 lead.

Delaware State would regain the lead at 24-23, but Temple would close the half strong to head to the locker room with a 35-27 lead.
The Hornets would not be done quite yet though.
A 10-1 run early in the second half would allow Delaware State to cut Temple's lead to just two. The Owls would maintain their poise, however, using a run of their own to put some distance between themselves and the Hornets, and would stretch their lead to as a large as 16 before picking up a 78-63 win to reach the .500 mark on the season.
The Owls would take advantage of a dominant performance on the glass in the win, out-rebounding the Hornets 48-33, including 21-11 on the offensive glass, which helped Temple to a 17-3 advantage in second chance points.
DeCosey would lead the way for the Owls in the win, scoring 20 points, including going 12-for-15 from the free throw line and grabbing 12 rebounds. Josh Brown would pitch in 14 points, five rebounds and four assists as well to help the Owls improve to 5-5.
Temple will now take a 10-day break before returning to action on December 29 at #23 Cincinnati.
