The Bruins beat the Owls 81-70 in a streak-filled game in the First Four and will face No. 6 seeded Maryland on Thursday in the East Region. Temple fell behind early before going on a 14-2 run to take a 22-17 lead. Then Belmont got hot with a 18-7 run to take a halftime lead. "We had to be more consistent on offense," Dunphy said, "but I'm proud of them, proud of what they had given to Temple University and proud to have them be my sons for a couple years."
