Alabama State vs Cincinnati Prediction

In all likelihood, I’ll just stick with Cincinnati here. It’s a pretty thick line, though. The Bearcats haven’t been tested much so far this season, and this game isn’t likely to change that. Cincinnati is coming off another stellar showing against Georgia Tech, shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 40.9 percent (9 of 22) from 3-point range, along with 36 rebounds. Points were easy to come by for the Bearcats; they have 81 or more in four of the five matches and 76 or more in all five.

As for Alabama State, they have some relatively solid performances on the books this year. However, the Hornets’ last outing against Akron was quite brutal and featured a 53-32 rebound deficit (18-9 offensive). Alabama State won’t be able to stop Cincinnati’s scoring attack, and I doubt the Hornets will finish past 65 or 70 points without significant garbage time. The Bearcats will run this wire to wire; the only question is the margin of victory.
