The Owls are truly in a groove and peaking with five straight covers all by at least 4.5. The Owls still have not lost when they've had their full roster, after transfers Jesse Morgan and Devin Coleman became eligible after the first semester.

Twice in their last three the Bearcats have failed to cover by double-digits. This is a big revenge game for Temple which has played their best hoops since their wake-up call to the Bearcats. Senior lead guard Will Cummings missed that game. He is possibly the best player for Temple, but he is back for this one. That makes three key players that will play in the rematch who did not play in their initial meeting.
