CINCINNATI — Cincinnati basketball is a 5-point betting favorite on Sunday to take out West Virginia and end their three-game losing streak. The point total is set at 127.5 points, which is the lowest in any Cincinnati game all season.

The Bearcats enter this one just 12-8 straight up and a terrible 7-13 against the spread, while WVU is 13-7 SU, and 11-9 ATS. That point total is below 130 for a very good reason. WVU is one of the slowest-paced teams in the country, and the two squads are a combined 9-30-1 hitting overs this season.

The game tips off at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
