PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The scoreboard showed that No. 19 Temple defeated Penn State 66-51. However, Owls coach John Chaney was in no mood to celebrate.

Chaney, ever the pessimist, found lots wrong with his squad after Wednesday night's victory over the Nittany Lions, from poor movement on offense to some lapses on team defense.

Luckily for Chaney, Penn State (7-2) was a little worse. The Nittany Lions shot 18-of-51 (35 percent) for the game after opening 6-of-9, as Temple (5-2) turned up its defense late and pulled away.

"In the last few minutes of play, in the second half, we turned it around. Other than that, we were doomed to lose," the aggravated Chaney said.

Offensively, Temple got a big inside boost from Kevin Lyde and started attacking the basket to take advantage of poor decision making and a technical foul on Nittany Lions coach Jerry Dunn.

Lyde paced the Owls with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Lynn Greer added 12 points. Jarrett Stephens led Penn State with 14 points and 12 rebounds.

Temple was down 31-30 early in the second half, before Dunn was called for the technical with 14:35 left for arguing a foul call. The Owls followed with a 13-4 run, capped by Lamont Barnes' layup, to go up 50-41 with 7:44 to go.

Keaton Sanders then scored five straight points, including a 3-pointer, to give Temple a 14-point lead.

"Obviously, it wasn't a good time to get a technical. I'll take the full responsibility," Dunn said. "I wanted to make sure my guys had a shot."

Temple won despite shooting just 25-for-64 (39 percent). The Owls again had trouble on offense with point guard Pepe Sanchez out for the sixth straight game with a sprained ankle.

"Certainly, I'd like to see what kind of ballclub I really have, because right now we're not going to go far without him (Sanchez)," Chaney said.

Temple missed nine of its first 15 shots in the second half, but Penn State failed to capitalize because of squandered fast-break opportunities and missed easy baskets. Penn State missed eight layups during one stretch after halftime.

First, Jon Crispin got a steal but missed a 3-pointer after going 1-on-1 with Greer.

Off another steal, Crispin missed another layup and teammate Titus Ivory failed to convert the offensive rebound.

"I don't know if we necessarily let the game get away, but it's a game that we certainly could have won," Crispin's brother, Joe, said.

With Penn State fast-breaking every chance it could and Jon Crispin hitting three 3-pointers early, Chaney decided to extend his zone defense late in the game to change the pace. It worked.

"You know they can shoot it from halfcourt, so we had to get out on them as far as we could," Greer said about the Crispins.

After going up seven midway through the first half thanks to a 3-pointer by Alex Wesby, Temple struggled to a 28-26 halftime lead.

Stephens put in his own offensive rebound, while Joe Crispin hit two free throws to cut the deficit to two points as Temple failed to hit a field goal the last 7:30 of the half.

Mark Karcher, Temple's No. 2 scorer at 16.8 points a game, was held to 2-of-14 shooting and five points. He was bothered by a bruised right knee.

The loss was Penn State's second in three games in Philadelphia this season. Penn State lost to Villanova and defeated Penn.

"I'd rather not come here three times in one year. I'd just like to come once," Dunn said.
