Lowe Likely Done for Season

Tuesday, March 1

The team announced on Tuesday that Lowe is expected to miss the remainder of the season but did not disclose the severity of the injuries he suffered in the wreck.   

"I visited Trey and his family on both Sunday and Monday at the hospital," Temple head coach Fran Dunphy told the school's website. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time and we are hopeful that he will make a full recovery."

The 6'6" shooting guard appeared in all of Temple's first 28 games this season and averaged 12.2 points per game. Lowe came off of the bench behind the likes of Quenton DeCosey and Daniel Dingle while posting 4.8 points and 1.6 boards per night. 

His best game of the season came on Feb. 17 against No. 1 Villanova when he scored 21 points by going 5-of-8 from three-point range, but Lowe hasn't been a big scorer much this year. Lowe recorded 10 or more points on just three occasions this season.

With Lowe out, Temple will put its deep backcourt to the test. Fellow freshman Levan Shawn Alston could see a bump in minutes as a third option at shooting guard behind DeCosey and Dingle. 

At 18-10 (12-4 AAC), Temple is in first place in the American Athletic Conference with two games to go in the regular season against Tulane and Memphis. Those last two games will give the Owls an opportunity to find another contributor off of the bench in place of Lowe before the postseason begins.

If Temple doesn't win the conference, it's unlikely it will make the NCAA tournament. ESPN's Joe Lunardi doesn't have the Owls in his latest bracket, so it's vital the team irons out any possible rough edges created with the loss of Lowe.
