Players to Watch:

G Honor Huff (WVU): One of the most efficient games Honor has had in Big 12 play came against these very Bearcats. Perhaps tonight is the night where he snaps out of his funk and goes off for 20+ points.

F Moustapha Thiam (CIN): The 7'2", 250-pounder was limited to just four points and four rebounds in the first matchup with the Mountaineers, so revenge will be in mind. Wes Miller will make it a point to get him the ball early and often, challenging WVU's frontcourt.

Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

Although the Bearcats are just 11-11 on the season, they've been tough at home, which is why they are 5.5-point favorites for this one. The over/under is currently sitting at 127.5.
