The Temple Owls (16-13) have lost three of their last four to ruin their chances of a NCAA Tournament berth. The surging Tulsa Golden Hurricane on the other hand have won seven of eight to improve to 18-11 on the season and defeated East Carolina 72-58 on Thursday. Their lone loss in the last eight was an 82-74 setback as Cincinnati as a 17-point dog, so absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

Tulsa has already clinched the No. 4 seed and a first-round bye in the upcoming conference tournament, but I still expect the home team to show up here, particularly as it'll seek revenge for a 59-58 loss at Temple back in January; the Golden Hurricane are 5-1 ATS when seeking revenge for a road loss this season.

My selection is an 8* play on Tulsa.
