PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Juan Fernandez scored 19 points and Ramone Moore 15 as Temple pulled away in overtime for a 73-67 victory over Pennsylvania on Monday night.

Zack Rosen, who scored 27 points to lead the Quakers (1-1), hit a 3-pointer to bring them within two, 69-67 with 7 seconds left, but Fernandez and T.J. DiLeo made two free throws each to pad the final margin.
