Cincinnati is looking to secure a massive win in the Big 12 home debut but Texas will present a difficult challenge on both sides of the floor!

It has been just over a decade since the new Big 12 foes met as the Bearcats beat Texas 65-59 in the first round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament.

The Bearcats opened as 4.5-point favorites over Texas with the over/under currently set at 145.5 total points according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

With a chance to pick up a memorable win over the 25th ranked Longhorns, Cincinnati must find success defending and scoring around the rim.
