The men’s basketball team was ranked No. 22 in the country by both the Associated Press and the USA Today/Coaches’ Poll on Monday.

Temple (21-5, 10-2 Atlantic Ten Conference) has won 10 games in a row and are in first place in the A-10. The Owls have won nine conference games in a row after losing two of their first three.

“It’s great that people have respect for your program,” coach Fran Dunphy said. “But tell me where we are on April 4. If we’re in the Top 25 then, then i’d say we had a very successful season. We still have a long way to go yet.”

The Owls are led by the A-10’s leading scorer, redshirt-senior guard Ramone Moore, who averages 18.2 points per game. Junior guard Khalif Wyatt is third in the A-10 in scoring, averaging 17 points per game.

This is the first time all season that Temple has been ranked in the Top 25.
