Temple Women’s Basketball head coach Diane Richardson decided to schedule a difficult non-conference schedule for her team to start the 2024-25 season. The schedule consisted of eight teams that made the postseason last season and it was going to be a difficult task for Richardson’s squad. 

The difficulties showed as Temple went just 6-5 and things did not seem good for the Owls. Despite the lackluster record, it was exactly what Richardson was looking for. Richardson wanted her team to gain experience against top competition to prepare them for conference play and it has paid off so far. 

Temple is off to a 4-1 start in conference play and has been playing better basketball on both ends of the floor. The Owls have the second-ranked scoring offense in the American Athletic Conference since the start of conference play and the fifth-ranked scoring defense. Richardson has also gotten more production from guard Kaylah Turner and forward Jaleesa Molina. While there are still two months left in the season, the difficult non-conference schedule has already and will continue to show its benefits for the Owls. 

“That non-conference schedule set us up to be resilient,” Richardson said. “We’re going to see that for the rest of the season, where we may get punched, but we’re not going to lay down.”
