Temple's chances at competing for an AAC title next season got even better Monday as Obi Enechionyia told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that he's withdrawn from the NBA draft and will return for his senior campaign.

The 6-foot-10 forward was second on the team in scoring last season at 13.1 points per contest, while also leading the Owls in rebounding at 5.8 per game.

With Enechionyia back in the fold, the Owls return four of their top five scorers from last season and should be poised to challenge for the conference title.
