Here at Fifth Third for Cincinati's third non-conference of the season against EKU. The Bearcats are 16.5 favorites today.
Through two games, EKU has 4 players averaging double figures. That includes Guards Michaeal Moreno, DaShawn Jackson, DeVonta Blanton, and Charlotte transfer Cooper Robb. They will play a guard heavy lineup, which should bode well for the Bearcats. Undersized forward Isaiah Cozart is EKU's best threat in the paint. The 6-foot-7 Richmond KY native is averaging 7 points and 10 rebounds through two games.
The Coloniels are coming off a close battle with Western Kentucky, losing 66-60. I believe this is the best team Cincinnati has faced to this point.
With an early tip, I'd expect the under 150 points to hit.
Score prediction: UC 80 - EKU 66
