NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament First Round-New Mexico vs Clemson

Former New Mexico guard Jamal Mashburn Jr. will spend his final season at Temple, he announced Monday. Last season with the Lobos, Mashburn averaged 14.1 points and 2.1 rebounds -- both the lowest marks in his three years in Albuquerque. In four college seasons, he has averages of 15.2 points and 2.4 rebounds with a 33.4 shooting percentage from 3-point territory. "100% committed," he wrote, followed by a heart emoji. "excited is an understatement." Mashburn's first college season was in 2020-21 at Minnesota, and he followed coach Richard Pitino to New Mexico the following season. The 22-year-old has an extra year of eligibility because of the extension granted by the NCAA to players following the COVID-19 season. Temple finished last season with a 16-20 (5-13 American Athletic Conference) record. In his first season, coach Adam Fisher led the Owls to their first AAC tournament championship game. --Field Level Media
