The Cincinnati Bearcats have had to wait for a while to bounce back from their road loss to the Houston Cougars last Sunday. A week has passed since then, which hopefully means the Bearcats will be rested and focused as they host the Wichita State Shockers at Fifth Third Arena on Sunday afternoon.
After winning eight-straight games, the Bearcats were in unfamiliar territory when they collapsed in a 65-58 letdown against the American Athletic Conference-leading Cougars a week ago. The road loss fed into UC’s somewhat mediocre work away from home this season, as the Bearcats are just 5-3 in such contests.
