What to Know

Get ready for an American Athletic battle as the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane will face off at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Fifth Third Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Cincinnati winning the first 90-69 at home and Tulsa taking the second 83-77.

The Bearcats were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 75-69 to the Houston Cougars. Cincinnati's defeat came about despite a quality game from guard Landers Nolley II, who shot 6-for-10 from downtown and finished with 24 points and six boards.

Meanwhile, Tulsa lost to the Memphis Tigers at home by a decisive 80-68 margin. Forward Tim Dalger (17 points) and guard Sam Griffin (15 points) were the top scorers for Tulsa.

Cincinnati is the favorite in this one, with an expected 15-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (11-5), so they might be worth a quick bet.

When the two teams previously met in February of last year, the Bearcats were in the race but had to settle for second with an 83-77 finish. Maybe they will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
