Coming off a loss last weekend, the Cincinnati Bearcats will aim to get back on track against the 10th ranked Iowa State Cyclones tonight!
During the most recent matchup with the new Big 12 opponent, Cincinnati picked up a 55-54 overtime win at Iowa State in December 2016.
It will be important for the Bearcats to avoid a slow start again and limit Iowa State duo Tre King and Keshon Gilbert from finding success.
Wes Miller's team should have an opportunity to secure a massive victory over Big 12 contender Iowa State but it certainly won't be easy to do.
