Kansas basketball could earn another victory on the road during Big 12 Conference play on Saturday. The Jayhawks are going up against the UC Bearcats.

Cincinnati’s stellar defense will test Kansas. The Jayhawks must be aggressive from the opening tip. KU wants to score inside, and that may not be easy. In addition, KU must play its usual stellar defense and not be afraid to get physical. It’s not necessarily bad if the Jayhawks foul UC, as the Bearcats struggle at the line.
