In their last games Kansas beat Lafayette 96-69 and Temple Delaware 82-62.

Kansas has won 8 straight since getting crushed by top-ranked Kentucky and they are 7-point road favorites tonight facing Temple in the City of Brotherly Love.

Temple has faced 2 ranked teams so far on the season and in both games they lost by at least 20 points. The Owls are 0-7 in their last 7 games facing a team in the top 25.

Jesse Morgan is a transfer, who made his debut in the last game going for 16 points. Quenton DeCosey and Will Cummings are the 2 leading scorers for the Owls and each is averaging at least 14 ppg.

These are the guys that the Kansas D has to worry about and keep from having big scoring games.

It is key that Temple play good D and shoot the rock well, as they are not a high scoring team only ranking 264th in the nation in points per game.

KU leading scorer Perry Ellis did not have a good last game and while the Jayhawks only have 2 players averaging in double figures they are a deep team. Before their easy win over Lafayette they had been struggling with their shot shooting under 40% from the floor in their previous 4 games.

The Owls will have to drain some 3’s tonight, as they are overmatched in the paint. However, while Kansas allowed Lafayette to hit 12 3-pointers they are only giving up 6.4 of them made per game.

Temple has lost their last 3 games facing Kansas with the last one coming in the 2013 season.

Not only has Temple lost both games this season facing ranked teams, but they have yet to beat a team from a major conference.
