I don't believe we need the points in this matchup — I believe the wrong team is favored and will look to crush the books on this bet!

Temple has a stud guard in Jamal Mashburn Jr. (New Mexico State transfer who has scored 20 points in every game this season and is hitting 62% of his three-balls) and is ranked 5th in the country in points scored on a per-possession basis in games played away from home this season. The Owls, who feature a group of experienced role players, shoot 41.8% from three.

Sure, Florida State has length and athleticism — they always do under coach Leonard Hamilton — but their commitment to defense has affected their ability to put the ball in the hoop. Interestingly, just one Seminole averages over 8.8 points per game, and only three players collect more than 2.8 rebounds per game. FSU shoots just 43% from the field and 26.9% from three-point range, too. I doubt they have magically erased their shooting issues ahead of this matchup against the much slower-paced Owls, who will bleed the clock when they're on offense to put even more pressure on the Noles.
