This should be a solid game for both teams as they’ll look to improve from last season. The Owls made the 2016 NCAA Tournament but lost in the first round to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Massachusetts finished 10th in the Atlantic 10 last season; Temple won the American Athletic Conference. The Minutemen will look to utilize a strong incoming recruiting class next season.
