What to Know

The Cincinnati Bearcats are 9-2 against the South Florida Bulls since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. The Bearcats and South Florida will face off in an American Athletic battle at 7 p.m. ET at Fifth Third Arena.

Cincinnati came up short against the Tulane Green Wave on Tuesday, falling 101-94. Cincinnati got double-digit scores from four players: guard Landers Nolley II (26), forward Ody Oguama (16), guard David DeJulius (12), and guard Mika Adams-Woods (11).

Meanwhile, South Florida ended up a good deal behind the Memphis Tigers when they played on Wednesday, losing 99-81. Guard Tyler Harris put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 28 points.

Cincinnati is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Tuesday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

With the two teams each stumbling in off of a loss, both will be hungry for the win. If the Bulls want to win, they will need to focus on stopping the Bearcats' Landers Nolley II, who shot 6-for-15 from downtown and finished with 26 points and eight boards, and Ody Oguama, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 13 rebounds. We'll see whether or not they are up to the challenge.
