Both teams have several players to watch as the Cincinnati Bearcats take on the Big 12 opponent Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday evening!
Kansas State is fueled by backcourt mates and leading scorers Tylor Perry and Cam Carter, plus former Creighton power forward Arthur Kaluma.
Players to watch are Cincinnati forwards Simas Lukosius and John Newman III alongside center Aziz Bandaogo and point guard Jizzle James.
With an opportunity to snap a recent losing skid, Wes Miller's team has to avoid a slow start and defensive miscues to take down Kansas State.
