Connecticut vs. Temple: Live Score, Highlights and Reaction
The Temple Owls (14-8, 8-3 American) will host the Connecticut Huskies (17-6, 7-3 American) on Thursday night at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on ESPN2.
The eventual champion of the American Athletic Conference is anyone's call at this point. Led by No. 16-ranked SMU, five teams are within two games of each other for the conference lead. Both Temple and Connecticut are in that mix.
Temple, which is only a half-game behind SMU, is on a three-game win streak, including a tough 62-60 road win over conference rival South Florida last Saturday. A victory tonight would tie it for the conference lead and provide a big confidence boost going forward.
