Analysis

Gold Standard on Temple Temple is the hottest team in the AAC right now and the Owls have been dominant at home. Temple is 7-0 at home this season and just handed a very good Memphis team their first conference loss of the season. Jamal Mashburn Jr. is one of the best scorers in the AAC and the Owls are a very balanced team. Tulane has played terribly on the road this season, where they are just 1-3. The Green Wave are scoring just 70.8 PPG on the road this season and are giving up 75 PPG. Tulane has struggled to get consistent production off the bench and have been out-rebounded in four of their five AAC games. I'm taking Temple to win this game as they have been dominant at home and are on a hot streak right now. Tulane's road struggles and rebounding problems will hurt them in this game and Temple will cover at home.
