Cincinnati basketball has been frustrating. The Bearcats, at 12-5 (2-2), are very talented, yet haven't been able to flip the switch yet, especially against tough competition. Last week was more of the same, with a 59-57 loss on the road to undefeated SMU and an uninspiring effort at South Florida this past weekend that resulted in a close Cincinnati win. Now, Cincinnati returns home to take on the 13-2 (3-0) Houston Cougars.
Meet the Opponent
Houston presents an interesting foe for the Bearcats. At 13-2, you anticipate a game that should come down to the last possession, but for the Cougars, this is a game where they'd like to see just how good they are.
