CINCINNATI VS UCONN PREDICTION 

The Cincinnati Bearcats are playing really good basketball right now and have hit their stride winning their last five games against tough opponents including Wichita State Houston SMU and Temple.  The Bearcats are scoring more points than they have in previous years due to the coaching change which has the Bearcats focusing on offense more than defense. UConn is 0-6 this season when they allow 70 points or more. Look for the Bearcats offense to continue rolling to cover the spread and get another big win on the road.
