Following a dominant performance against the Texas Southern Tigers, the Cincinnati Bearcats (8-2) will continue their homestand against the struggling Fairleigh Dickinson Knights (2-8). This three-game stint at home against weaker opponents will allow the Bearcats to establish a gameplan and develop their bench before their American Athletic Conference opener at Temple on Dec. 28.
Cincinnati is a perfect 6-0 at home this year while the Knights are 0-6 away from the Rothman Center. Following a 2015/2016 season where they finished above .500 (18-15), the Knights have stumbled coming out of gates this year and that is not expected to change as they face off against their only ranked opponent of the year.
