Lastly, we didn’t add this to our list of teasers but Houston -1.5 @ TEMPLE was intriguing. The Cougars were 15-0 and Temple was 11-3 so when you factor in a few points for the Owls’ homecourt advantage, the line still says this should be close. Last year, Temple upset then 17-4 Wichita St. at home, the year before they beat Top 10 West Virginia at the Barclays Center. In 2016, they upset SMU (then 18-0). This is Fran Dunphy’s last year coaching at Temple. Just throwing it out there.
Result: Temple 73-69.

Pick: Temple +1 in second half.
Result: Houston 37-34 (2nd half) (L)
