The West Virginia Mountaineers (15-10) will defend their home court in Big 12 action against the Cincinnati Bearcats (15-10) on Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET.
The Mountaineers previously took down Cincinnati 63-50 at Fifth Third Arena earlier this month, but since then, they’ve had mixed results. They dropped a close game at TCU, bounced back with an 11-point victory over Utah, then suffered back-to-back narrow losses—falling by four to BYU and by three in overtime at Baylor last Saturday.
On the other hand, the Bearcats have been solid in rematches, boasting a 2-0 record in repeat matchups this season. After a 28-point road loss to BYU, they flipped the script, dominating the Cougars 84-66 in their home turf two weeks later. More recently, Cincinnati avenged their loss to Utah, securing an 85-75 victory at Fifth Third Arena.
