Cincinnati Basketball: Preview for the Bearcats pivotal road trip to Oklahoma

Cincinnati moved to 17-12 with a last-second win over Kansas State, while Oklahoma fell to 19-10 after a setback to top ranked Houston.

It will be important for the Bearcats to contain Oklahoma’s efficient offense that ranks sixth in the Big 12 with 46.7 percent field goal shooting.

Oklahoma is led by backcourt Javian McCollum (scores a team-high 13.6 points per game) and Otega Oweh along with center John Hugley IV.

The Bearcats have a chance to pick up another quality win but Oklahoma's dynamic offense is going to be a difficult group to keep in check.
