SMU has won on the road against every AAC opponent - except UC.
The Mustangs are 0-5 all-time in Cincinnati, as Tom Groeschen points out in his preview of Thursday night's game, and the Bearcats lead the all-time series, 6-3. (SMU is 2-1 vs. UC in Dallas, and 1-0 at neutral sites.)
UC has won its last 17 home games entering Thursday - the second longest home win streak of the Mick Cronin coaching era. (It had a 19-game win streak from March 2, 2013 through Feb. 15, 2014.)
In last year's meeting between the teams at UC, the Bearcats won 61-54 on March 6.
