As I've said a couple times already this season I really like this Cincinnati team. I think Cincy defends the rim extremely well which will force Iowa State into taking perimeter shots.

Cincinnati's issue is putting the ball in the basket, at times the Bearcats just haven't converted which has been the reason for them losing close games in conference including a 1 point loss to Texas, by 4 to Oklahoma, by 5 to Kansas, by 4 to West Virginia and most recently by 5 to Houston.

When you consider those results it's reasonable to say the Bearcats could be alot better than 4-6 in conference play.

Iowa State is a perfect 14-0 at home but just 3-3 on the road and this is a tough ask for them since easy buckets against Cincinnati's elite rim defense are going to be hard to come by. I think Cincy gets a big upset win at home here on Tuesday night!
