Can the Cincinnati Bearcats break a frustrating losing streak against the Houston Cougars as the Big 12 opponents meet on Saturday night?
Dating back to a narrow win over Houston just over four years ago, the Bearcats suffered nine straight losses against the former AAC foe.
The most recent meeting between the Big 12 newcomers took place last March as Houston blew past Cincinnati in the AAC Tournament.
With an opportunity to snap the lengthly losing streak against Houston, Wes Miller's team must avoid costly turnovers and defensive mistakes.
