Preview: Temple Owls at South Florida Bulls TAMPA, Fla. (Interstat) — The South Florida Bulls will look to avenge a narrow January loss and solidify their standing when they host the Temple Owls in an American Athletic Conference women’s basketball matchup Tuesday night at the Sun Dome. The Bulls (18-11 overall) enter with the stronger record and have won four of their last five games, including a 66-63 road victory at North Texas on Saturday. South Florida is led by guard Carla Brito, who has scored in double figures in seven consecutive games. She averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds in that stretch, providing consistent all-around production. Temple (13-15) arrives in Tampa coming off its most dominant performance of the season, an 86-57 road win at UAB. The Owls’ offense runs through dynamic guard Kaylah Turner, who erupted for 26 points in that victory. Turner has been on a scoring tear, averaging 18.4 points over her last five contests. Her play will be critical for an Owls squad seeking its third win in four games. This meeting is a rematch of a Jan. 20 thriller in Philadelphia, where Temple edged South Florida 86-83. In that game, the Owls overcame a 30-point performance from Bulls guard L’or Mputu. For South Florida, balancing its offensive attack around Brito will be key, with Mputu and Stefanie Ingram coming off strong performances against North Texas. Temple will rely on Turner’s scoring burst and hope for continued support from players like Saniyah Craig and Jaleesa Molina, who combined for 27 points in the win over UAB. The game carries implications for conference tournament seeding. South Florida aims to protect its home court and build momentum, while Temple looks to climb back to .500 in league play and replicate its earlier success against the Bulls. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST.
