Cincinnati fell to 13-5 following a narrow loss to Oklahoma last weekend, while Kansas dropped to 15-3 with a surprising loss at West Virginia.

It will be important for the Bearcats to contain Kansas' efficient offense that leads the Big 12 with 51.0 percent shooting from the field.

Kansas is fueled by star duo Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCullar Jr, alongside veteran guard DaJuan Harris and forward KJ Adams.

The most recent road trip to Lawrence resulted in a loss in 1967 but Cincinnati leads the all-time series with a 4-3 record against the Jayhawks.
