Temple shocked the college basketball world two weeks ago with its stunning road upset win against then-No. 1 Houston. The Owls have largely underachieved preseason expectations that suggested they had the talent to be an NCAA Tournament team, but they locked up defensively in that 56-55 win.
The Cougars will be out for revenge Sunday as they visit North Philadelphia. The market has adjusted them downward a bit after they were 20-point home favorites, but Houston remains a big favorite for the second meeting.
Houston may have a shiny 21-2 record and only one loss in conference, but the Cougars haven’t been playing their best basketball in the past month. They’ve covered just two of their past six games, a sign that they’re overvalued in the market. In fact, one of those covers came via a late flagrant foul, otherwise the Cougars would be 1-5 ATS.
Despite the revenge angle, the Cougars remain overvalued in Temple’s biggest home spot all season. The Owls have the athleticism and defensive solidity to make it difficult for Houston to score in the half court.
