Cincinnati vs. Kansas CBB Prediction:
Give me Cincinnati. Without Dickinson and McCullar I don’t see how they win this game. The Bearcats are a tough team, especially on the defensive end and I just don’t know where the scoring comes from for KU. Kansas will be fine if they lose this game, however for the Bearcats they need to likely win the Big 12 tourney to make it to the NCAA tourney. Take the desperate team.
