The Cougars’ defense is the main reason why they are one of the last remaining unbeaten teams. They allow an 8th best 59.2 points per game. They also only allow opponents to shoot 36.2% from the field, which is 2nd best in the country. As for three point shooting, their opponents shoot 26.4%, which is 5th best in the country.
Temple Owls
The Owls come into this game with a 1-1 record in the American conference. With a win, it will not only put them back near the top of the conference, but it will also be an upset of an undefeated and ranked team for the Owls to add to their resume.
The Owls do not have any offensive stat that stands out this season. They average just under 75 points per game and also shoot just under 45% from the field. Based on their lack of offense, they will likely struggle against a top 10 defense.
