The phrases ‘one game at a time’ and ‘trap game’ have become cliches in sports circles for a reason — teams routinely lose games they’re favored to win when there is a bigger game looming. Athletes have proven repeatedly that they’re susceptible to overlooking the game in front of them and instead focusing on the marquee matchup down the road. I imagine a team full of 18 to 22 year-olds are even more susceptible. The Cincinnati Bearcats will hope to avoid that fate at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday night when they face a Bowling Green team they’ll be heavily favored to defeat, while a matchup with nationally ranked Butler awaits them a week away.
