Despite dealing with a shoulder injury that was caused by a car accident last month, Bearcats guard Simas Lukosius is expected to play today.

Cincinnati should be able to secure a win but Evansville senior forward Ben Humrichous could present a legitimate problem for the defense.

The Bearcats opened as 17.5-point favorites with the over/under currently placed at 150.5 total points according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Wes Miller's team is hoping to cap off 2023 with a dominant victory over Evansville and remain undefeated at Fifth Third Arena this season!
