(NCAAB) Wildcats (ARIZ) vs. Bearcats (CIN),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -115.00 Bearcats (CIN) (Home)
Result: Loss
Arizona is coming into this game with a 7-5 record this season and they are 1-0 in the conference. They have won their last 3 straight games and they are coming off of a 9 point win at home against TCU in their last game which was their 1st conference game of the season, but they have not played any strong opponents in that span. They have taken losses in both of their games against ranked opponents, losing to Duke and UCLA, and they have also struggled with better Big 12 teams as they have a loss to West Virginia despite it not being counted as a conference game. They have only played in 1 true road game this season as well and it was a 103-88 loss against Wisconsin. They are going up against a Cincinnati team that is 10-2 this season and they are 0-1 in the conference. They have been playing very well recently as they have won 4 of their last 5 games, but they are coming off of a 3 point loss on the road against Kansas State in their last game. That close game was their 1st conference game of the season as well so they are going to be hungry to bounce back here and have played much better at home this season. They have won all 7 of their games at home this season and most of those wins have been by 10+ points as well. Arizona has been struggling a lot more this season and has not been great against stronger opponents while Cincinnati has been on fire to start the season and will be very hungry to not only bounce back from their loss, but also pick up their 1st conference win of the season at home. Cincinnati will cover the spread in this game.
