After suffering a third consecutive loss at home, the Cincinnati Bearcats hope to bounce back at the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday afternoon!

Cincinnati has relied on a revamped rotation in recent weeks and it should continue to pay off with the regular season quickly winding down.

In addition to being fueled by several veterans, Cincinnati should consider playing point guard Jizzle James and center Jamille Reynolds more.

James posted 10 points and one assist off the bench, while Reynolds racked up 10 points and four rebounds during a loss to Oklahoma State.

Bearcats forward Simas Lukosius compiled a team-high 17 points to go with five rebounds and four assists on 7/14 shooting in the loss.

Cincinnati went on an 8-0 run to take a 52-50 lead in the second half but the Cowboys were able to respond and eventually secure a win.

It appeared the Bearcats were going to snap a recent losing streak at home before Oklahoma State slightly surged ahead in the final minutes.

Wes Miller's team was looking to avoid a third consecutive loss at Fifth Third Arena until they dropped to 16-10 and 5-8 in conference play.
