Temple vs. SMU

The Temple Owls have a lot of experience, and have played well down the stretch. The Owls own an 11-2 record over their last 13 games, and have a closer in Will Cummings, whose 21 points were too much for Memphis to overcome yesterday. SMU has maintained their winning ways, and come into this game at 15-2 over their last 17, but they have really been having a hard time pulling away from anyone of late, failing to cover any of their last three, and lost one to UConn, a team they handled easily earlier in the season. The Owls certainly present a challenge here, and have been playing up to their perceived level down the stretch. Meanwhile, the Mustangs have been fighting themselves to get it done, and appear vulnerable in this spot. Play on Temple.
