I am backing Temple here at home behind sophomore guard Khalif Battle who has been lighting the conference up scoring at least 24 points in each of his past five games while shooting 50% from the floor or better in all of those. Temple is one of just two teams that has beaten Houston this season, whereas all of Wichita State's conference wins this year have come against the four worst teams in the AAC. Wichita St has also alternated wins and losses their past 9 games. The Shockers are also coming off a game that went to double overtime on Sunday night, so they could be a bit fatigued here and Temple should get back on track here at home with a victory Thursday night.
