The Cincinnati Bearcats open conference play at Fifth-Third Arena against the South Florida Bulls who come in at 105 in the latest kenpom rankings.
Coach John Brannen and the Bearcats cannot afford to lose this game since it would go down as a Q3 loss on their resume and greatly harm their NCAA tournament aspirations. You and I both know what the Bearcats need to do in order to win this game: play tough defense without fouling, limit turnovers, and get to the free throw line and convert.
Although USF added top 100 guard Caleb Murphy to their roster, they are still one of the least talented teams in the American Athletic Conference.
