We played some of our best ball against these guys and still lost. A W would be a pleasant surprise.
 
ESPN's take on it:

No. 11 Cincinnati at UConn, 12 p.m. ET, ESPN: There are heartbreakers. But Saturday’s loss to Louisville was something worse for Cincinnati. The Bearcats were at home in a sold-out arena and they had the victory locked, it seemed, until Russ Smith connected on a buzzer-beater. That matchup was also additional evidence about the significance of Sean Kilpatrick (9-for-26 overall, 3-for-14 from the 3-point line) to Mick Cronin’s offense. Connecticut is equally dependent on the offensive theatrics of Shabazz Napier, who went 5-for-19 in a 63-58 loss to Cincy in the first matchup this season. The second meeting will be another war, one that ends on a Napier buzzer-beater.

Prediction: UConn 65, Cincy 64

We've had several opportunities to make "statement" wins over the last 6 weeks and have fallen short. With a win here, we could launch ourselves back into the national picture. With a loss here, we essentially resign ourselves to also-ran status.

I think this game goes similarly to our first meeting with Cincy, but the home crowd allows us to withstand a late push and to pull out a close one.

UConn 63-58 Cincinnati
