Two of the top teams in the American Athletic Conference square off Thursday. SMU has won three straight since falling to then-No. 15 Memphis on the road on Jan. 7. The Mustangs, winners of seven of their last eight games, are coming off double-digit home wins over Temple (77-64) and Tulsa (103-70). Will their hot offense continue on the road?
North Texas is returning home after an abysmal offensive showing in a 56-44 loss to Charlotte on Jan. 20. The Mean Green have been particularly mean at home, winning their last four games by double figures.
Here is a betting breakdown of Thursday’s conference clash with a best bet.
