CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are home-betting favorites by a narrow margin with No. 11 Kansas rolling into Fifth Third Arena. Cincinnati opened as a 1.5-point favorite with the point total set at 137.5 points.

UPDATE: Cincinnati has flipped from a 1.5-point favorite to a 1.5-point underdog on Saturday morning and the point total has come down to 135.5.

Cincinnati lost straight up and against the spread on Tuesday against Baylor to fall to 6-8 ATS and 10-4 straight up. Kansas has rolled its past two opponents to mark a 7-6-1 record ATS and 11-3 overall.

The biggest storyline to watch from a betting perspective is the total. Cincinnati's elite defense and absent offense have been the perfect formula for unders this season. UC games are just 2-12 to the over and the point total hasn't gone over in any of their five road games.

Meanwhile, Kansas has hit one over in 14 games, boasting a defense that's even better than UC's.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
