Temple University reviewing reports of potential match-fixing of men's basketball game

Temple University said it was looking into reports of match fixing of a Division 1 men's basketball game. In a statement Friday, a university representative said it was reviewing the March 7 game between the Temple University Owls and the University of Alabama-Birmingham Blazers at Temple's Liacouras Center arena in Philadelphia. 'We are aware of the media reports regarding last night’s men’s basketball game,' it said.

There has not been a major gambling scandal in NCAA men's basketball since an incident involving Boston College and notorious mobster Henry Hill in the late 1970s. However, the ongoing legalization of, and subsequent influx of interest in, online sports betting in recent years may have increased the likelihood for such an incident to occur again.
