Cincinnati is coming into this game with a 10-1 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. Their only loss this season came in their last road game against Villanova, and they have won their last 5 straight games since then. They have a very good win in a neutral location against Dayton in that span, winning that game by 7 points, but other than that win, they have not really been tested this season. They are going up against a Kansas State team that is 6-5 this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 3 straight games, but 2 of those losses came against quality opponents. They lost their last game at home in OT by 3 points to Drake, and they also have a road loss to St John's in that span as well. They have been much better at home this season though, winning 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games there. Now they are going to be back at home and hungry to bounce back after losing 3 straight, but this is also their 1st conference game of the season so they are going to get up for it against a ranked opponent. Cincinnati has been playing very well recently, but they have not been playing against many quality opponents and this is going to be their 1st conference game of the season as well, playing it on the road in a hostile environment. Kansas State is going to cover the spread in this game.
