Bearcats Trying To Bounce Back From Loss
The Bearcats had their four-game winning streak snapped by Houston in their last game. They will try to bounce back from the loss with a win over the Golden Hurricane, which will give them their fifth win in their last six games."This is what you want. You want to go down there and play. I think it's the best team in the league, certainly a top-10 team in the country, and they have been all season."
