Tulane vs Temple Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup with some momentum, but Temple will have the home court advantage. The Owls have won four of their last five games and they are scoring nearly 80 points per game this year. Tulane has won five of their last six and while they are shooting 44.1% from the field, they are still scoring 76.2 points per game. The Green Wave have scored at least 80 points in three of their last five games, but we did see them lose their last road game against UAB by 12 points. These two teams are very evenly matched, but I am taking Temple, as they are at home and have Mashburn Jr. Take the Owls here.
