Cincinnati is well on its way to a seventh consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament with a record of 7-1 so far. After spending two weeks just outside the top 25, the Bearcats climbed back into the polls by virtue of their 55-54 overtime road win at Iowa State, one of the most difficult places in the nation to play.

Mick Cronin’s teams always feature tough and physical defenses, and the Bearcats are allowing just over 58 points per game to rank ninth in the nation. North Carolina transfer Kyle Washington has been a force with 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game on 59 percent shooting from the field.

While Cincinnati shouldn’t be a bubble team by the end of the year, picking up another ranked nonconference road win would be huge for seeding purposes before heading into a weak AAC schedule. Butler will want to start out the most difficult portion of its schedule off on the right foot, as the Bulldogs play Indiana, Villanova, Creighton and Xavier in the coming weeks.
