PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Micheal Eric had 14 points and nine rebounds to lead five starters in double-digit scoring and No. 22 Temple beat Toledo 82-49 on Sunday.
The Owls (2-0) dominated from the opening tip and had little resistance from the undermanned and overwhelmed Rockets. The Owls had five starters scoring in double figures before the midway point of the second half in their first game against Toledo (0-2) since 1986.
Ramone Moore and Lavoy Allen each scored 12 points for Temple, Scootie Randall had 11 and Juan Fernandez 10.
Temple went on early 12-0 and 13-0 runs in a rare laugher among a loaded nonconference schedule. Georgetown, Villanova, Duke and Maryland are all ahead for coach Fran Dunphy's Owls.
The Rockets lost their second straight game to a ranked team, losing the opener to No. 13 Illinois, 84-45.
Toledo lost its 34th straight road game.
