Coming off a critical win this week, Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Wes Miller broke down how Big 12 play has helped the team improve!

"You have to learn how to win one possession games which it seems like the whole league is. That should give our team some confidence."

Make sure to preview the upcoming matchup including recent odds and players to watch as the teams meet for the first time since 2011.

The Bearcats have a chance to pick up another quality win but Oklahoma's dynamic offensive unit is likely going to be difficult to slow down.

A second straight win over a ranked opponent would be a huge step in the right direction for Cincinnati returning to the NCAA Tournament!

It will be important for the Bearcats to contain Oklahoma’s efficient offense that ranks third in the Big 12 with 48.9 percent field goal shooting.

Players to watch are Cincinnati forwards John Newman III (season-high 20 points in TCU win) and Daniel Skillings Jr, plus DaVeon Thomas.

Thomas totaled a team-high 21 points and six assists including the game-sealing free throws in the final seconds of overtime against TCU.
