PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Lavoy Allen had 12 rebounds and became Temple’s career leader in that category in the 23rd-ranked Owls’ 66-52 win over Saint Joseph’s on Sunday.
Allen scored 14 points for the Owls (21-5, 11-2 Atlantic 10) and passed John Baum on the school’s career rebounding list. Baum, Temple’s radio analyst, grabbed 1,042 rebounds in only three seasons. Allen, a 6-foot-9 senior forward, helped the Owls win their eighth straight game overall and ninth straight over their city-rival Hawks (7-19, 2-10).
Allen, who has 1,045 rebounds, set the record on a weekend former Temple greats Eddie Jones, Aaron McKie and Rick Brunson were inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. Former coach John Chaney watched from press row as Allen etched his name in team history.
Allen scored eight points during Temple’s 14-4 run late in the second half that broke the game open.
