Temple 61, Massachusetts 49

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) -- Dustin Salisbery scored 14 consecutive
points during Temple's game-ending 29-7 run as the Owls overcame a
10-point second-half deficit for a 61-49 win over Massachusetts on
Wednesday night.

Salisbery's 3-point basket with 5:38 to play gave Temple its
first lead of the game, 49-47. He followed with another 3-pointer
and a pair of 2-point field goals to give the Owls (5-5, 1-0
Atlantic 10) a 56-48 lead with 2:47 to play.

Mardy Collins led the Owls with 18 points, followed by Salisbury
with 14, Antywane Robinson with 13 and Mark Tyndale with 11.

Rashaun Freeman, Art Bowers and Maurice Maxwell had eight points
each to lead the Minutemen (6-5, 0-1).

Temple hit just one of its first 23 shots and scored just two
points in the first 10 minutes of the game as UMass pulled ahead by
as many as nine points in the first half and took a 25-21 halftime
lead.

Temple shot 17.5 percent in the first half, and 50 percent in
the second half.

The Minutemen led 42-32 when Chris Chadwick hit a layup with
11:29 to play, then Temple started its game-ending run on Tyndale's
jumper.
