Faced with a must-win situation on Saturday, the Leopards hosted Cisco College.

TC dominated the game from the tip to the final horn as they defeated the Wranglers, 97-39.

The Leopards held Cisco to five points in the first quarter, a defensive low on the year, as TC led the Wranglers 20-5 heading into the second period.

Temple continued to dominate in the second period, as they outscored Cisco 29-10, and took a 34-point lead into the locker room.

The Leopards outscored Cisco in the third quarter 30-9 and led by 55 points going into the fourth quarter.

TC's 39 points allowed is their lowest of the season. Their previous 44-point low was set three times: November 16 against Northern Oklahoma-Enid (111-44 win, which was season-high for points scored and margin of vicotry with 67), January 25 at Southwestern Christian College (83-44), and February 9 against Ranger (79-44).
