In American Athletic Conference men's basketball action on Tuesday (Dec. 11), UCF and Temple earned victories. 

Temple 108, Saint Joseph's 61 - Box Score

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Jake Forrester had a career-high 17 points to lead five Temple players in double figures as the Owls easily beat Saint Joseph's 108-61 on Tuesday night.

The sophomore transfer from Indiana was 8-for-8 shooting to help Temple reach 100 points for the first time since December of 2013 and post their highest score since getting 109 against St. Bonaventure in 2007.

Quinton Rose added 14 points for the Owls (7-2) and Nate Pierre-Louis chipped in 12.

Myles Douglas had 14 points for the Hawks (2-9), who have now lost eight games in a row. Toliver Freeman added 12 points.

Temple shot 63% from the field, had a 51-25 rebounding advantage and held Saint Joseph's to 31% shooting.

UCF 79, Green Bay 66 - Box Score

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Ceasar DeJesus and Collin Smith scored 14 points apiece as UCF topped Green Bay 79-66 on Tuesday night to win its fourth straight.

Frank Bertz added 11 points for the Knights (7-2), while Darin Green Jr. and Dre Fuller Jr. each had 10.

Amari Davis had 25 points for the Phoenix (3-7), who have lost three straight. JayQuan McCloud added 15 points and Kameron Hankerson had 12.

Indiana 57, UConn 54 - Box Score

NEW YORK (AP) -- Indiana (9-1) failed to have a double-digit scorer and still rebounded from its first loss of the season to beat UConn 57-54 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Alterique Gilbert buried a 3 for UConn (6-3) with 14.3 seconds left that pulled it to 56-54 but it coughed up the ball on a game-tying possession.

Earlier, the crowd erupted into chants of ''Let's go Huskies!'' when Sidney Wilson finished a thunderous alley-oop that made it 38-all. Josh Carlton's two-handed jam gave the Huskies the lead and Tyler Polley thumped his chest and pointed at the UConn bench when he connected on a 3 that sent the fans into a frenzy. That small surge, though, couldn't be sustained.

IU never had one player step-up as a scorer, and caught a break with 36.7 seconds left when it got possession after a review on a tipped ball out of bounds. Rob Phinisee sank a pair of free throws with 20 seconds left to stretch the lead to five. Aljami Durham led the Hoosiers with nine points.

Carlton led the Huskies with 18 points and Polley had 12.
