Box Score | Postgame Notes 

PHILADELPHIA -- Eighth-ranked SMU became the last Division I team to lose this season when Devin Coleman scored a career-high 23 points and led Temple to an 89-80 win Sunday.

Coach Larry Brown and the Mustangs (18-1, 7-1 American Athletic Conference) were off to the best start in team history.

Coleman made all seven of his 3-point shots. Quenton DeCosey added 19 for the Owls (11-7, 5-2).

Temple fans rushed the court to celebrate the victory. The crowd at the Liacouras Center was smaller than usual after the game was pushed back a day because the winter storm that blanketed the East Coast.

Sterling Brown scored 19 points to lead SMU.
