Tanaya Atkinson stood behind the arc four minutes before tip-off against Houston, sinking back-to-back 3-pointers inside McGonigle Hall.
Atkinson continued to hit shots during the game, scoring a career-high 27 points in Temple’s 78-48 against the Cougars on Friday night. Temple is currently riding a six-game winning streak.
“I just always think I am the one in my head,” Atkinson said. “If I just get out of my head I can have a game like this.”
With 3:02 left in the first quarter, junior guard Feyonda Fitzgerald missed a jumper and Atkinson attacked the board and rebounded the ball.
