Cincinnati hosts #24 SMU in a big game for their NCAA Tournament resume.
Well, here we are. The regular season, season finale against No. 24 SMU.
While the Mustangs aren't doing anything along the lines of postseason play, due to a NCAA ban, Cincinnati is still very much in the conversation, despite losing a road game to Houston earlier this week. To feel a little more comfortable heading into Selection Sunday though, the Bearcats will need to beat an SMU team that barely got the best of Cincinnati earlier this season.
Meet the Opponent
On January 7th, Cincinnati nearly took down the undefeated SMU Mustangs in Dallas, but an 11-2 SMU run to close the game ultimately was too much for the Bearcats and Cincinnati fell 59-57.
