Temple Owls Embracing Games vs Conference Opponents

Most squads in the AAC have much better non-conference records, but it’s actually the opposite when it comes to the Temple Owls. They’re 8-4 in league play so far this season, versus a 6-7 mark against teams outside the AAC.

Three weeks ago, they scored one of the biggest upsets of the year, taking down the favorite in the odds to win the NCAA tournament, the Houston Cougars, 56-55. Even more impressive, is the fact that win was on the road.

This is a side that seems to embrace facing top competition. They are 2-1 against ranked opponents this year and are 8-2-1 against the spread when they’ve been the underdogs in the college basketball odds.

Memphis Tigers Setting Hoops on Fire in Recent Stretch

The over/under total for this game sits at 146.5 points. Nobody in the AAC gets fast break points like the Tigers who lead the conference in that category, averaging 16.5 per game. They’re coming off four contests where they’ve scored at least 80 points.

DeAndre Williams scored 26 points in Memphis’ most recent game, a 99-81 victory over the South Florida Bulls. That was the 3rd time the Tigers scored at least 90 points in their last eight games.

The Tigers had been unbeatable at home up until their first contest as hosts in February. Last week, they suffered a heartbreaking 90-89 overtime defeat to Tulane, the team that sits just above them in the conference standings.

Notwithstanding that loss, Memphis has a perfect mark at home. It’s a different story when considering their record against the spread. The Tigers are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning straight up record.

Temple vs Memphis Prediction

Memphis has gotten the better of Temple in five of their last six meetings, including that one slim victory just a month ago. The over has hit in four of those six matchups, but went 29 points under the betting line the last time these two met.

Temple vs Memphis Recent Results

Over their last four contests, the Tigers have averaged an incredible 91.8 points per game. They have hit the over in 62.5% of their games this season.

While the Owls don’t score the ball with the same vigor, they have surpassed the betting total in each of their previous four outings. Temple own a 5-3 road mark, and Memphis are 10-1-1 hitting the over in their last 12 home games against a team with a winning road record.

Our prediction is that these teams go over 146.5 points in the Temple vs Memphis odds on Sunday.

Pick: Over 146.5 (-105)
