Cincinnati truly has their back against the wall as the Bearcats prepare to host their most genuine American Athletic Conference rival; UConn. Following an overtime 70-68 loss to Tulsa Thursday night, Cincinnati absolutely needs to rebound in a big way if they want to keep their postseason aspirations in tact. After floating around the "First 4 In" and "First 4 Out" predictions for weeks, the Tulsa loss will surely play against them, making this game all the more important.
Meet the Opponent
Cincinnati has already beaten the Huskies this season, winning in Connecticut, 58-57, on a clutch Gary Clark three-point play back in late January.
