Revenge is a dish best served cold. While this adage might be cliche, it perfectly sums up how SMU fans felt after the Mustangs’ 79-65 victory over Temple on Wednesday night.
SMU had not played the Owls since Temple brought the Mustangs’ perfect start to a shocking end last season. SMU travelled to Philadelphia with a 18-0 record, but after a blizzard delayed the game and the Owls’ Devin Coleman shot 7-for-7 from three-point range, the No. 8 Mustangs’ hopes of a perfect season were no more.
Now it was time to return the favor. Temple, coming off losses in its first two American Athletic Conference games, drops to three games back in the standings following Wednesday’s loss to SMU.
