The Cougars (20-8 overall, 11-5 in conference) will travel to face off against the No. 18 Cincinnati Bearcats (25-4, 14-2) on Thursday. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
With redshirt senior guard Damyean Dotson in peak performance and junior forward Devin Davis back in the lineup, the Cougars may pull off the upset. When Cincinnati came to Hofheinz earlier this season, the Bearcats walked away victorious 67-58.
The Cougar squad, which averages 70.8 points per game, couldn’t find any momentum from beyond the arc. They shot an abysmal 15.8 percent (3-for-19) with redshirt junior Rob Gray shooting and missing all seven of his attempts.
