Tulane vs Temple Predictions and Picks
"The matchup advantage for Temple starts on the defensive end. The Owls have been most effective when forcing opponents into half-court execution, limiting easy transition opportunities, and turning games into physical possession battles. That style directly challenges Tulane, as they are one of the worst rebounding teams on both ends of the court. Tulane won't be able to find second-chance points but the Owls will." — Napier Montgomery, Pickswise
"Temple comes into this matchup on a lengthy losing streak and they are 7-9 in conference play, but they will be at home here. The Owls are shooting 45% from the field and they have allowed 76+ in three of their last four. Tulane has dropped two in a row and they have allowed 90 points in each of those games .... I don't love the defenses in this game and neither team has been impressive recently, but I am not laying points with this Temple team. Take Tulane here." — David Racey, PickDawgz
"It would be a massive understatement to say Tulane and Temple are not brimming with confidence .... The Owls have lost six in a row since starting 7-3 in the American Conference and are not even guaranteed to qualify for the league's 10-team tournament if they win. Their skid started with an 11-point defeat in New Orleans on Feb. 11 .... The Green Wave has lost back-to-back contests to Tulsa and South Florida by a combined 62 points — its most lopsided two-game stretch since 2000-01." — Guerry Smith, The Times-Picayune
