The Cincinnati Bearcats will take on the Illinois Fighting Illini in college basketball action. Cincinnati has been perfect so far this season having won their first four games. Illinois will look to bounce back from their first loss of the season to Marquette and sit at 2-1 on the season. Illinois will get their big manCockburn back into the lineup after serving a ridiculous three-game suspension. His return should give a spark to the Illini but will he be 100% game-ready?. Cincinnati is not lacking for height so Cockburn will not be as big as a mismatch as he is with other teams. Illinois has struggled with turnovers and it played a major factor in their loss to Marquette when they turned it over 27 times. Cincy keeps this one under double digits.

Play on Cincy. This is a 7* play.
