Khalif Battle - Efficient in win Battle tallied 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3PT, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and an assist in Wednesday's 72-49 victory over UMES.
Impact A rather inconsistent scorer last season, Battle looks to find a rhythm and stay in it this season, starting off his season on the right foot with an extremely efficient night from the field. Battle averaged 15.0 points starting last season, expect his scoring to remain similar this season, as the sophomore guard averaged taking 13.3 shots per game last season, taking 14 shots Wednesday night.

Arashma Parks - Misses season opener Parks (shoulder) did not take the court in Wednesday's season-opening victory over Maryland-Eastern Shore.
Impact Parks was in and out of the lineup during his freshman season with Temple, and May shoulder surgery finally provided some context for his multiple absences. He had yet to be fully cleared as of late-August, and with no official exhibition games on the slate, news was sparse regarding his status. This is a player who should eventually factor into the frontcourt rotation, though it's unclear if he'll be able to gain clearance prior to a tough Saturday matchup against USC.
NOVEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jahlil White - Back from knee injury White finished Wednesday's 72-49 win over Maryland Eastern Shore with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 13 minutes.
Impact White missed his entire inaugural season with the Owls after undergoing knee surgery last November, but it looks like the 6-7 wing is ready to contribute in a depth role in 2021-22. Temple was also missing Arashma Parks (shoulder) for the contest, and he's a player that should ultimately factor into the frontcourt rotation as well. Nonetheless, it's encouraging that White was one of only four reserves that saw game action.

It sounds as though the freshman is t least nearing a return, which could provide a boost to the Owls' scoring efforts down the stretch. Through 12 games, Dunn has averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists and he's dropped 20-plus points on three occasions.

New career high against USF Battle had a career-high 32 points (9-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes on the court in Sunday's 83-76 loss to South Florida.
Impact Battle has now started back-to-back games, but his shooting volume reached a new peak in Sunday's contest. It was also his second career double-double, as well as a new career high in assists (5). While Temple is long out of the NCAA Tournament conversation, Battle potentially gives the program a good piece to build around moving forward.
