The Opponent

Houston Cougars: 28-2 (15-2 AAC), #6 NET

What's at Stake

With a win the Bearcats (25-5, 14-3 AAC, #23 NET) would clinch a share of the AAC regular season title with Houston. The Bearcats would also earn the #2 seed in next week's AAC conference tournament in Memphis. A loss and a UCF win over Temple would give the Bearcats the #3 seed in the AAC tournament.

A win over Houston would give the Bearcats their best win of the year for their NCAA tournament resume and another valuable Q1 win for their team sheet. The Bearcats are currently 4-3 in Q1 match-ups this year.

Last Match-up

Houston defeated Cincinnati 65-58 on February 10th at the Fertitta Center. The Bearcats led by 1 point with just over 6 minutes to go in the game before Houston would end the game on a 8-0 run holding the Bearcats scoreless.

Key Players and Stats

Corey Davis is a conference player of the year candidate. He has shot 26/51 from 3 (51%) since facing UC a month ago. Teammate Armoni Brooks has shot 23/46 from 3 (50%) over that same timespan.

The Cougars are the best overall 3-point shooting team in the AAC as well as the top rebounding team. They rank 8th nationally in rebounding margin (+7.6/game)

Jarron Cumberland, the Bearcats leading scorer and AAC POY candidate, is 1/16 from 3 over his last 4 games.

The Bearcats have won 16 consecutive home games.

Senior guard Justin Jenifer has won 104 games over his 4 game career.

Outlook

Game of the Year in the AAC. I'm confident we'll send Justin and Cane out right in a close hard-fought win.
