The Mustangs (19-11) beat Temple, 68-52, in a Jan. 18 game played at Moody Coliseum. The Owls (14-17) got revenge on Feb. 8 at the Liacouras Center, earning a 97-90 overtime win after rallying from 17 points down in the second half. That was also the game where Temple guard Quinton Rose became the AAC's all-time scoring leader.

The winner of the SMU-Temple game will play No. 2 seed Houston (23-8) on Friday. That game is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

The AAC Tournament pairings are listed below.
