The last two undefeated teams in AAC play match up in Cincinnati on Thursday.
Both of these teams expect to be in the NCAA tournament, so a win here would be big for both of these teams.
The Mustangs and Bearcats both like to get up and down the court, so expect a track meet to break out inside Fifth Third Arena.
SMU Mustangs
The SMU Mustangs come into this game on quite a roll as of late. After starting the season 4-3 the Mustangs have reeled off ten straight wins.
The reason for their success has come on the defensive end. They haven’t given up more then 65 points in any of their last 11 games.
If you are able to be able to play that good of defense, you are going to win a lot of games.

On the offensive end the Mustangs are led by Semi Ojeleye. He is averaging 17.9 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game.
With the Mustangs running such a short rotation, it’s even more important that Ojeleye has a good game every game.
For the Mustangs to win they need to shut down the high powered offense of the Bearcats. Even though the Mustangs can score a lot of points, a slow paced game actually works in their favor.
Cincinnati Bearcats
The Cincinnati Bearcats record looks impressive but in their only real tests, they have lost.
Their best win is over an Iowa State team, who at the time was ranked 22nd, but will finish in the middle of the Big 12 pack.
The Bearcats have three players who average more then 10 points a game. Jacob Evans is the leader averaging 15.1 points, 4.1 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game.

Look for the Bearcats to really push pace. They are best when they are running up and down the court.
Thursday’s game is expected to be a sellout so they need to get out ahead early so they can get their home crowd behind them early.
