Tu Holloway and the Xavier Muskeeters are 30 minutes away from taking on the first place Temple Owls. The Muskies, 16-8 (7-3 conf.) need a win against Temple on ESPN2. Temple is 18-5 and 7-2 in the conference. Holloway averages 16.3 points a game, which is a team high. Holloway also leads the Assist and Steal category, which he averages 5.8 assist and 1.7 steals a game. Out of Points/Rebounds/Assists/Steals/Blocks, Xavier only leads 1 of the 5 categories, which is the assist category. Temple is predicted to win by 6-9 points.
Keys to victory for Xavier:
Mark Lyons needs to step up! Lyons has been down lately, not scoring or doing anything as much as previously. Very inconsistent lately for Lyons.
62, not 52 & 10:
Mark Lyons and Tu Holloway need to work together tonight, be 1, not 2.
Better FG% for Frease:
Frease missed way to many easy bunnies last game. Even though Xavier destroyed Rhode Island on Wednesday, If XU plays Temple the same way they played URI, The Owls will trample the Muskies.
My Xavier Fan Prediction:
69-64 Xavier Defeats Temple
My Professional Prediction:
74-66 Temple Defeats Xavier
