8. Cincinnati Bearcats (12-4, 1-2 Big 12)
Last week's games
74-73 loss vs. Texas
62-59 loss at Baylor
Despite coming out victorious in just one of its first three conference games, there is reason for hope in Cincinnati. They defeated BYU on the road to open league play and were a 3-pointer away from sending Baylor to overtime on their home court. Watching the development of this team will be fun if they keep playing like this.
