Even though Houston is not a ranked team, the Cougars will present plenty of challenges to the No. 22 Cincinnati Bearcats when the two teams meet up in an American Athletic Conference clash at Hofheinz Pavilion.
At 12-2 and 2-0 in league play, UC is in the midst of a fine season, with its most recent result a 92-56 rout of Tulane, which was powered by a tremendous showing from three-point range. The Bearcats have won five-straight and will try to make it six on Saturday. This will be just the fourth true road game of the season for UC, which is 2-1 in such contests.
