Yes, the game is at the XL Center, which is not a bad thing as the Huskies have done well in some big games there, going 3-0 against American Athletic Conference opponents. Since the building opened in 1976, the Huskies hold a stellar 239-86 straight up (.725) record in their off-campus home facility.

Both teams are strong on defense, but Connecticut now only has home court edge, they certainly have the better offense shooting 45.5 percent, while Cincy is shooting just 42.8. It is also a tough spot for the Bearcats with Memphis on deck.
