Can the Cincinnati Bearcats get back on track against the Big 12 foe TCU Horned Frogs in a critical conference matchup this weekend?

Following a third consecutive setback at home, the Bearcats are attempting to bounce back en route to picking up a much-needed win at TCU.

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

Wes Miller's team doesn't have a ton of time to turn things around with just five games left and remaining on the NCAA Tournament bubble.

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

Despite owning a 44-40 points in the paint edge and 32-26 rebounding advantage, Cincinnati just wasn't able to outlast Oklahoma State this week.

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

The Bearcats defense and physicality has been a strong suit of theirs all season until failing to slow down Oklahoma State down the stretch.
