The game is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. CST (9:30 a.m. PST) at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri. This matchup comes just days after Oklahoma State secured a 78-67 victory over Cincinnati on March 8. In that game, Cowboys' forward Abou Ousmane led all scorers with 24 points. The Bearcats concluded the regular season with three consecutive losses. They average 70.5 points per game while allowing 65.3 points. Key players include guard Jizzle James, who leads the team with 12.9 points and 3.7 assists per game, and forward Dillon Mitchell, contributing 9.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. The Cowboys have struggled with consistency, failing to secure back-to-back wins since late December. They average 72.7 points per game but allow 76.2 points. Forward Abou Ousmane leads the team with 12.5 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, while guard Bryce Thompson adds 12.4 points and 4.3 assists per game. This first-round Big 12 Tournament matchup presents an opportunity for both teams to extend their seasons. Cincinnati will aim to adjust their game plan to counter Oklahoma State's interior strength. The Cowboys have already demonstrated they can beat Cincinnati and I look for that to continue here today. I'll take the points with Oklahoma State.
