Opponent Preview: Cincinnati Bearcats
The Enquirer/Kareem ElgazzarNo. 18 Mississippi State (8-1) will be tested tonight as it hosts the defending AAC champions Cincinnati Bearcats (9-1). The Bulldogs are riding a five-game win streak, while UC hasn’t lost since its season opener against Ohio State. A win from either team will be considered a good one, and it’s shaping to be a good matchup.
This game, like the Clemson one, will test how Ben Howland’s team will face against potential tournament teams. The Bearcats have made the NCAA Tournament for the past eight years, making the Sweet 16 once.
