Temple scored the first 10 points of overtime and defeated top-ranked Kansas, 74-66, Friday night in the opening game of the inaugural Jimmy V Classic at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J.

The victory came nine days after the Owls (3-4) defeated then No. 2 Villanova, and only a few days after they lost to No. 9 Cincinnati.

“Everybody we play has a number,” Temple Coach John Chaney said. “They’re No. 5, No. 1, No. 10. There’s a lot of numbers out there. I schedule as many tough teams as I can. The more tough teams you play the more character you develop.”
