Cincinnati is the only team in the AAC still with a perfect conference record at 5-0. A few with just one loss behind them.
Temple is not one of them, they are just 1-5 in the league, including a home loss to the Bearcats.
This might not be the prettiest basketball you can find on Wednesday night.
Temple
Temple has a proud basketball tradition so seeing them at the bottom of the AAC standings is a little jarring.
If you look game to game you will see that they have had a very tough start to conference play in terms of scheduling. They are playing mostly the top of the league.
At the same time they are not looking very good doing it.

Obi Enechionya is having a productive season for the Owls, leading the team in scoring and rebounding. He plays a ton and it will be interesting to see how he holds up against the Bearcats physicality.
He was not great in their loss to Cincy early in the season.
Schizz Alston and Daniel Dingle are two perimeter players who average in double figures even though they can’t really shoot the ball well.
The team as a whole is shooting only 41% and that is terrible. The AAC is not a great conference but that number needs to go up if they want to compete.
There might be some buying opportunities with this group later in the season but right now it is probably safer to just stay away. They are not the plucky Temple you are thinking of.
Cincinnati Bearcats
The Bearcats are always a tough team to evaluate. Few think they have what it takes to win a title or even make it to a Final Four but nobody wants to play them. They have just two losses and could certainly run the table in the AAC.
This year they are playing their trademark defense but have much better scoring options. Kyle Washington has been fantastic and atypical of a Cincy big he can really shoot the ball.
They have not really changed the way they do things but he is a difference maker. They have 4 double-digit scorers this season and they usually only have a couple.

Troy Caupain was supposed to benefit from not having to do it all himself and I suppose he has but his numbers are not good.
His efficiency should be better I think and it hurts them from being among the truly strong teams.
The best thing about Cincy is their defense of course. They are second in FG% defense which keeps them in every game and will make them a dangerous team in a lot of situations.

Free Temple Owls vs. Cincinnati Bearcats NCAAB Prediction:
Temple should compete but I am not expecting anything spectacular on the road.
Even though Cincy dominates for stretches they are tough to back because they can go though significant scoring droughts.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: UNDER 134
The under could be a good bet in this one. Especially if the total is in the 140s.
