 UC basketball is a sub-20 point betting favorite for the first time this season. Most major sportsbooks have tonight's road line set at 14.5 in favor of Cincinnati, with the point total sitting at 137.5 as of this writing.

UC is 2-1 against the spread this season, while Northern Kentucky is 0-3 against the number, having just lost outright to Nicholls State. UC crushed Nicholls 86-49 a day later and is trying to avenge a loss at NKU two years ago.

NKU has not won a game this season.
