ESPN.com had this to offer regarding the Temple vs. Indiana matchup:
What to watch: Can Temple possibly get stops? The Owls finished the A-10 season ranked ninth in their league in points per possession allowed; they're a crafty offensive team that has struggled defensively throughout the year. On Sunday, they meet the nation's No. 1 offense.
Stat to watch: Temple's offense is effective not only because the Owls can rely on Wyatt, but because they don't often turn the ball over -- to date, they've turned it over on fewer possessions (just 15.9 percent) than all but eight teams in the country. Indiana loves to force turnovers, after which it can get out and run. If Temple can limit that facet of the game, it might just be able to hang with the Hoosiers.
