BOX SCORE
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -- Titus Ivory scored 21 points as Penn State defeated No. 23 Temple 66-60 on Saturday. Tyler Smith had 13 points, and Jon and Joe Crispin had 12 points each for the Nittany Lions. Penn State (5-1) won their third straight as Temple (4-5) dropped their fifth straight, marking the first time the Owls lost five straight under coach John Chaney. The Owls led by as many as nine, but Penn State took control in the first half. A steal and three-point play by Ivory tied the game at 21-21 with 6:56 remaining in the first half. Joe Crispin's long three capped the 11-0 run and gave the Lions their first lead since scoring the opening basket. Temple took the lead on an Alex Wesby 3-pointer, but a Gyasi Cline-Heard layup tied the score at 34 apiece at halftime. Penn State and Temple matched scores in the second half until Ivory sparked a 7-0 run with a 3-pointer with less than three minutes remaining. Kevin Lyde led Temple with 16 points, and David Hawkins had 14. | ALSO SEE Mens College Basketball Scoreboard
