What to Know
The Cincinnati Bearcats and the Wichita State Shockers will face off in an American Athletic clash at 1 p.m. ET Jan. 16 at Charles Koch Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with Wichita State winning the first 82-76 at home and the Bearcats taking the second 60-59.
Cincinnati netted a 79-71 victory over the East Carolina Pirates on Wednesday. Cincinnati’s guard Jeremiah Davenport filled up the stat sheet, picking up 22 points along with six rebounds.
Meanwhile, the point spread favored Wichita State on Wednesday, but luck did not. They were just a bucket short of a win and fell 68-67 to the Tulane Green Wave. Guard Qua Grant had a pretty forgettable game, finishing with only six points on 2-for-10 shooting in his 28 minutes on the court.
Cincinnati got away with a 60-59 win when the two teams previously met in March of last year. Their victory shoved the Shockers out of the playoffs, so they have a target on their back.
