It will be important for the Bearcats to avoid a poor shooting performance and stop UCF from creating quality looks on a consistent basis.
The most recent meeting between the first-year Big 12 rivals took place just under a year ago as Cincinnati outlasted UCF 73-71 in February.
Wes Miller's team fell to 13-6 following the loss to Kansas but should be able to gain confidence as conference play continues on this weekend.
