SAINT JOSEPH’S 82, TEMPLE 72: Langston Galloway scored 22 points and added to his conference-leading 3-point field goal total as the host Hawks ended the No. 22 Owls’ 11-game winning streak.
Galloway, who has 79 3-pointers this season, was 4 for 6 from beyond the arc as Saint Joseph’s (19-11, 9-6 Atlantic 10) ended its 10-game losing streak to city rival Temple (22-6, 11-3).
Halil Kanacevic notched his seventh double-double of the season with 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Hawks.
The Owls managed to overcome a 14-point first half deficit and led 47-44 with 14:39 remaining, but Carl Jones and Galloway combined for five 3-pointers over the next seven minutes to give Saint Joseph’s a lead it would not relinquish.
Michael Eric posted his fifth double-double of the season with 14 points and 14 rebounds for the Owls, who missed out on their chance to go 6-0 against their Big 5 rivals this season.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Saint Joseph’s went on a 16-2 run to establish a game-high 14-point lead with 4:51 remaining in the first half, but Temple responded with a 29-12 run by hitting 10 of 14 shots over the next 10:12. ... The Owls, who matched a season high with 26 fouls, were forced to mix-and-match for most of the second half as five of the eight players who saw action finished with four fouls.
