CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are big favorites against East Carolina once again on Wednesday.

UC is favored by 9.5 points over ECU and the total is set at 141 points.

Wes Miller's crew beat ECU 83-55 as 10.5 home favorites last month.

The Bearcats are one of the 10 best teams in the country against the spread (17-8 ATS) and have covered in four of the past five games.

On the road, things haven't been that great. UC is 4-4 ATS on the road after their most recent loss to Tulane. ECU (14-9-1) has been a nice cover team as well, especially at home (9-5 ATS).

Injuries could play a big role in who gets the cover. ECU's leading scorer Javon Small is working back from an injury, while Viktor Lakhin's status for Wednesday is unknown.

Catch the game at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
