After slipping past Kansas State last weekend, the Cincinnati Bearcats will attempt to outlast the Oklahoma Sooners on Tuesday evening.

Cincinnati moved to 17-12 with a last-second win over Kansas State, while Oklahoma fell to 19-10 after a setback to top ranked Houston.

Oklahoma is led by backcourt Javian McCollum (scores a team-high 13.6 points per game) and Otega Oweh along with center John Hugley IV.

The Bearcats have a chance to pick up another quality win but Oklahoma's dynamic offense is likely going to be a difficult unit to slow down.
