PHILADELPHIA Ä Johnny Miller scored 25 points, including seven three-pointers, and Temple's outside shooting beat No. 5 Massachusetts' inside power 72-63 last night to snap the Minutemen's six-game winning streak in the series.

The Owls (16-8, 9-5 Atlantic 10) lost a 15-point first-half lead, but were able to take control in the second half as Miller, whose previous best was 21 points against West Virginia, hit five 3-pointers in the second half.

UMass (20-4, 10-3) was only able to score inside against Temple's zone defense and most of that was by sophomore center Marcus Camby, who finished with 25 points, 13 rebounds and eight blocked shots.
