This American Athletic Conference game will see the Houston Cougars take on the Cincinnati Bearcats. The Bearcats really need a win in this game to improve a lackluster resume.
Houston Cougars
The Cougars have clearly been the best team in the AAC, posting a conference record of 7-1. Houston is also a top 25 team and look to be a look for the tournament. They have won five games in a row, and nine of their last ten.
Houston is averaging 74.1 points per game this season, which only ranks 110th in the country. They do not shoot the ball great, only averaging 43.2% from the field. Also, they shoot just 33.7% from the three-point line. These numbers are well below average, which means they need to get hot early in this game.
The Cougars are very well balanced, having four guys average between 10.3 and 13.1 points per game. This balanced offense is the way they will be able to extend their win streak.
Another impressive stat for the Cougars shows that they are the second best rebounding team in the entire country. They average 42.6 boards per game.

Over the last five games, they have played elite defense, allowing 56.6 points during this stretch. Also, their defense has been solid in conference road games. In four of these games, they are allowing 62.5 points per game.
Cincinnati Bearcats
Since losing to Memphis a few games ago, the Bearcats have now won three games in a row. Their overall record is not great, but they do have a conference record of 6-2.
Offense is not really a huge strength for Cincinnati, as they average 72.6 points per game. This ranks just 140th in the country. They do only shoot 44.9% from the field, which ranks just 120th in the country. It should be noted that they tend to shoot much better at home, averaging 48%.
Cincinnati is led by Jarron Cumberland. He is scoring 14.9 points per game. Two other guys average between 12 and 13 points, so the Bearcats do have several scoring options as well.
