This Cincinnati crosstown rivalry has been known to spring upsets and the X looks poised to pull a surprise across town at Fifth Third Arena vs, the Bearcats. Besides, Cincy's 7-1 mark might be a bit suspect, especially as the one serious challenge against another Big East foe, Villanova, resulted in the Bearcats' only loss of the season to date. None of the Bearcats' gaudy offensive numbers showed up vs. the Wildcats, who held Cincy to 38% from the floor and 31% beyond the arc in that 68-60 Cats win on the Main Line December 3. The Musketeers might be getting downgraded because of a poor effort in Fort Myers vs. Michigan a couple of weeks ago, but this figured to be a stronger Sean Miller contingent this season after adding Indiana State sharpshooter Ryan Conwell (16.4 ppg) and key F Zach Freemantle (16.8 ppg0 returning from injury after last season.
