Cincinnati Bearcats basketball plays its second game in four days in Mountain Time as they face Utah Tuesday. Here are keys from Scott Springer.

It will be extremely difficult to knock off the Cougars in the mountains. BYU is 9-1 at home and 2-1 in Quad 2 games, as Cincinnati fits that distinction being a team ranked outside the NET's top 30. The Bearcats are 2-1 against BYU since the 1949-50 season, winning by an average of 11 points.

Fresh off a comeback victory vs. Colorado, Coach Katrina Merriweather's Bearcats are in Tucscon against Arizona Wednesday night at 8 p.m. (Eastern). A win would give them three straight in the Big 12 for the first time.

The Bearcats dropped another conference conference game on Saturday night 80-52 to BYU. The Cougars stifled Cincinnati's offensive sets all game and used hot three-point shooting (15-24) to cruise to what tied for the worst losing margin of the Wes Miller era.
