BYU enters the matchup with a 12-1 record that includes a win over San Diego State, and is led by star senior shooting guard Jaxson Robinson.

Cincinnati will face BYU for just the fourth time ever and the first meeting since blowing out the Cougars 84-59 in the 2001 NCAA Tournament.

It will be important for the Bearcats to contain BYU's high-powered offensive attack and limit Robinson from getting quality shot attempts.

The Cougars are undefeated at home this year so it will certainly be a challenge for Cincinnati to pull off an upset in the hostile environment!
