The Owls are 3-5 in American Conference play; Richardson believes that more confidence and intensity are key to a third straight conference tournament semifinal appearance. The Owls picked up just one win, a 94-85 overtime victory against the Patriots in the season opener on Nov. 3. Turner leads the conference in scoring with 17.4 points per game and the Owls’ offense usually funnels through her. Despite its troubles, Temple remains bought in and is determined to turn its season around with 10 games remaining. Richardson, Turner and Molina echoed the importance of maintaining confidence and pushing each other to theirbest abilities.
