Tonight, the 15-8 Knights will take on the 21-2 Cincinnati Bearcats.
The Bearcats are 10-0 in conference play in the AAC, and are currently ranked number 11 in both the AP and the Coaches’ Poll.
Kyle Washington will lead the offense for the Bearcats. Washington averages 13.7 per game, and scored a career high of 27 points in the Bearcats’ last contest against UConn.
But the Knights tout an impressive defense, leading the nation in field goal percentage defense at 36.5 percent. The Knights only give up an average of 61.1 points per game, the fifth least in the country.
