TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Quenton DeCosey hit a one-handed runner as time expired, lifting Temple to a 66-65 victory against South Florida on Saturday.

South Florida led by 18 midway through the second half and seemed destined to avoid its eighth consecutive loss. Instead, the Bulls finished the regular season at the bottom of the American Athletic Conference standings.

Dalton Pepper scored 15 of his game-high 20 points for Temple (9-21, 4-14) in the second half. DeCosey finished with 18 and Will Cummings had 14 for the Owls.
