The Bearcats (18-10 [10-6 AAC], NET #79, KenPom #66) hit the road one last time this regular season as they travel to Memphis (21-7 [11-4 AAC], NET #39, KenPom #38) in a match-up where the winner will have the inside track on a top 3 seed in March's AAC tournament.

The Tigers bounced back from a 72-64 loss at Houston last weekend (where they played without Kendric Davis) with a midweek 83-78 victory at Wichita State. Their only home loss on the season has come at the hands of Tulane who won a 90-89 OT thriller at the FedExForum three weeks ago.

Memphis will be without the services of 5th-year 6'5 wing Keonte Kennedy (9.2 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 38.1% 3FG) who broke his hand while punching a wall in frustration after the Houston loss.

The Tigers continue to play fast (15th nationally in Adjusted Tempo), draw fouls (lead the AAC), and force turnovers (lead the AAC). They also lead the AAC in team FG% during conference play at 49.4%.

Memphis limited Cincinnati to its worse 3-point shooting performance of AAC play (25% on 6/24) during our first match-up - a 75-68 loss where Memphis held the lead for over 36 minutes of the game.
