Temple breaks three game losing streak

Temple snapped a three-game losing streak, using a 20-point, 11-rebound effort from Tiarra East to beat Tulane, 68-59, in New Orleans.

Aleah Nelson (18 points), Tarriyonna Gary (14), and Brittany Garner (10) also finished in double figures for Temple. Kyren Whittington led Tulane with 26 points.

Temple (8-11, 3-4 American Athletic Conference) used a 23-2 run that began in the third quarter and extended over 90 seconds into the fourth as it built a 19-point lead.
