The Cincinnati Bearcats play the SMU Mustangs tonight in a tough road game. Southern Methodist is red hot right now, almost as much as UC. This will not be an easy game for the Bearcats. Here are some previews of the matchup.
Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Southern Methodist Mustangs Preview
"To further increase its lead atop the American Athletic Conference, Cincinnati would have to become the first team to win at SMU this season."
The Layup Line: Southern Methodist, Again
"This one’s gonna be ugly. But the Bearcats lead the country in winning ugly (or something like that). This one has all the makings to end the Bearcats winning streak: on the road and playing an incredible defense. But, as I mentioned at the outset, you can’t pick this Cincinnati team to lose. So I won’t; call it the kiss of death, if you will."
Seventh-Ranked Bearcats Head to SMU
"Cincinnati and SMU have played only four games in series history with the Bearcats owning a 3-1 advantage. UC claimed a 65-57 win on New Year’s Day when the two teams met to open conference play. Jackson led the Bearcats with 17 points, six rebounds, five blocks and five steals. Saturday’s matchup marks the first at SMU in series history."
