Cincinnati and Tulsa will do battle on the hardwood for the second time in the past 14 days, with the setting flipping to Cincinnati on Thursday night.

The last time these two met, Cincinnati won 70-65 in overtime, with the Golden Hurricane shooting 14-for-23 from 3-point range. That likely will not happen again as Tulsa is 130th in the country in 3-point shooting percentage at 35.1 percent.

Cincinnati is 32nd in the country in offensive efficiency and 22nd in fewest turnovers per offensive possession. The offense has ticked up with six of its last eight games going over.

Cincinnati is 24th in rebound rate and uses it to get second chances, ranking fifth in the country in extra scoring chances per game.

Tulsa relies upon getting to the free-throw line, ranking fifth in the country in free-throws attempted per field goal. The Bearcats in the last three games have fouled 26.3 times per game, which is second in the country in that span.

With Tulsa having gone Over in three of its past five games, points should be plentiful in this matchup, especially with each team having at least four players who average at least nine points per game. The balanced scoring leads to a better chance of the Over cashing even if a few players have an off night.

The Play: Over 133.
