The Temple Owls will travel to Oklahoma and take on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane this Wednesday evening for an AAC matchup. Tulsa leads the all-time series 9-4, but the two teams split the matchups last season.
Temple will be slightly favored to win on the road here.
Temple Owls
Temple has managed to stay afloat despite being hit by the injury bug early this year. The enter this one winners of three of their last four games, with the one loss coming to Houston by just five.
Losing leading scorer Khalif Battle in the win over La Salle has altered Temple’s season early. The sophomore guard was averaging a team-leading 21.4 ppg, and Aaron McKie has had to seek offense elsewhere.
Damian Dunn remains a consistent scoring threat after a strong freshman season. The 6’5 guard scored a career-high 27 points in the win over Penn, and he’s averaging 15.1 ppg and a team-leading 4.7 rpg.
Freshman guard Jeremiah Williams orchestrates the offense, and he’s posting a well-rounded 9.2 ppg, 3.9 rpg, and a team-leading 4.7 apg.
The Battle injury has expanded the roation, leading to big games from guard Tai Strickland (21 pts v. Vandy) and big Zach Hicks (35 pts v. DSU).
Jahlil White has come in and played a lot of minutes early. The 6’7 freshman scored a season-high 17 points in the win over UCF, and he’s sure to be a key cog going forward.
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Tulsa picked up solid non-conference wins over Rhode Island and Oregon State during their first half of the season, but they’ve opened AAC play with a pair of close losses to SMU and Memphis.
Tulsa is led offensively by Sam Griffin and Jeriah Horne. Griffin came over from UT-Arlington and he’s scoring a team-leading 16.9 ppg. The 6’3 sophomore is coming off of a career-high 25 points, and he’s Tulsa best threat to fill up the scoreboard.
