The Pennsylvania Quakers are getting torched left and right defensively, and those are issues that usually don’t fix themselves on the road. The Temple Owls are playing their best ball of this young season and the defense is showing signs of improvement. Temple will also have the best player on the floor here. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Owls at home.
