Playing its best basketball of the season, No. 25 Southern Methodist University has a tough trip ahead to play a Temple program that's made a habit of pulling off top-25 upsets.
SMU (20-4, 10-1) has won six straight and 16 of its last 17 games dating back to Dec. 2.
Ranked for the first time this season and fourth year in a row, the Mustangs led by 6-foot-7 junior Semi Ojeleye (17.7 ppg, 6.7 rpg) and 6-foot-6 sophomore Shake Milton (13.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg), two of four double-digit scorers for head coach Tim Janovich.
