Temple at Cincinnati

The Cincinnati Bearcats have enjoyed success under Mick Cronin, and the AAC. The Bearcats are in the top 25, and own a record of 17-2 on the season. This is a team that plays very physical and ugly, with many of their games more resembling a rock fight than a basketball game. Temple was a team expected to compete at the top of the AAC, but have truly been disappointing. The Owls have simply lost to teams they should never lose to, but plays all the top teams on their schedule tough. The Owls have wins vs. Auburn, Clemson, SC, SMU, Wisconsin, and near losses to Houston by three points, and this same Cincinnati team by just two points. The season has seen this team play like a top team when the competition is elite, and they should hang around here as well. Take the points on Temple.
