With the Golden Bears they allowed a lead to slip away in the second half against Saint John's and it is a loss the Golden Bears will want to put behind them. However, the Golden Bears will also be looking to prove the loss was something that was more of a fluke. Thankfully for the Golden Bears they are facing a very offensively weak Owls team in this game, which could give the defense the chance to reprieve itself.

Darius McNeil led the Golden Bears with the offensive points in the game as he managed to put in 21 points. The rebounding leader for the Golden Bears was Justice Sueing who pulled down a total of 9 boards, but out of those only 1 was on the offensive glass.
The Owls have struggled in the game against VCU and the offense was really controlled in the game as the Owls offense was only able to score 51 points in the game and it was a disappointing game for the Owls. Temple got the first loss in the game and it was against the Rams, who have not been seen as a major team, but it was definitely a team that managed to control the Owls offense in what many consider to be an upset.

The Owls in the loss were led in the scoring by Nate Pierre-Louis who put in only 11 points in the game. When it came to cleaning up the glass Ernest Aflakpui was able to pull down most of the boards with 10 boards with 7 of them being on the defensive glass and 3 on the offensive glass.

The Owls may have been shut down in the last game against VCU, but it will not be shut down in this game here. The Owls have way too much talent and carried to many points to have a poor offensive game two games in a row. The Golden Bears have been playing decent and proved they cannot hold onto a lead and that is what will happen in this game here as the Golden Bears lose a lead. Final Score Prediction, Temple Owls win and cover ATS 69-60.
