The floundering Southern Methodist Mustangs will be in Philadelphia tonight for a match-up with the Temple Owls. SMU has lost 4 straight and 6 of their last 7. On the road, they are just 2-4, averaging 71.8 points per game and allowing an average of 75.8. Temple should have some extra incentive to get back on track after getting bamboozled by Tulsa in their last outing, 76-58. The Owls are an impressive 9-2 at home, averaging 76.7 points per game and allowing an average of 70.7. The Mustangs will not go down without a fight and this should be a close game but Temple prevails.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TEMPLE OWLS M/L
