Will Cummings scored 15 points for Temple (19-9, 10-5), which remains in third place in the conference despite losing for the second straight game.

The Golden Hurricane held a four-point halftime lead before scoring nine of the first 11 points of the second half, including a 3-pointer and two foul shots by Woodard.

Temple, which has been one of the worst shooting teams in the country all season, shot 8-of-33 in the first half - 0-of-7 from behind the arc - and also missed half of its 12 foul shots. Tulsa wasn't any more impressive, shooting 34.6 percent, not to mention an ugly 5-of-13 effort from the foul line, but Woodard's nine points helped the team to a 26-22 lead at the break.
