Temple and Cincinnati will compete for fourth place in the American Athletic Conference standings when they square off on Wednesday night. The Owls snapped their four-game losing streak with a 76-53 win over Tulsa on Sunday. Cincinnati has won two of its last three games, beating UCF its last time out.
Temple got off to a slow start in non-conference play, losing seven of its first 13 games. The Owls were able to bounce back to open AAC play, winning eight of their first 10 games against conference foes. They beat then-No. 1 Houston before taking down USF and UCF in back-to-back overtime outings. Temple went ice cold after that, losing to Houston, SMU, Memphis and Wichita State in four straight outings. The Owls finally got back on track over the weekend, beating Tulsa in a 76-53 blowout on Sunday. They easily covered the 11.5-point spread, which was the first time that they covered since beating UCF on Jan. 28.
