Temple had begun the game in Houston on Sunday with less than a 5 percent chance of winning, according to a website that specializes in such data.
Fair enough. Houston was No. 1 in the country, had lost just once, to another top-five team in early December. The Cougars certainly hadn't lost at home to Wagner and Maryland Eastern Shore, as Temple had.
By halftime, score tied ... Owls fans taking notice ... the graph on KenPom.com was not fazed, still giving Temple a mere 6 percent chance.
