Preview: Cincinnati Bearcats at No. -- Texas Tech Red Raiders LUBBOCK, Texas (Interstat) — A surging Cincinnati team riding a four-game winning streak faces a stiff road test Tuesday afternoon against a ranked Texas Tech squad at United Spirit Arena. The Bearcats (15-12, 8-6 Big 12) have found their rhythm in February, most notably with an 84-68 road rout of Kansas last Saturday. They will look to continue that momentum against the Red Raiders (20-7, 9-5), who are 14-1 at home this season and coming off a dominant 100-72 victory over Kansas State. The matchup features two of the conference’s premier guards in peak form. Cincinnati is powered by the versatile play of Baba Miller, who is averaging 17.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists over his last seven games. His recent triple-double threat performance at Kansas (18 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists) underscores his all-around impact. Texas Tech counters with dynamic floor general Christian Anderson, who has been a model of consistency. Anderson has dished out 7.8 assists per game over his last six contests while scoring 17.0 points per game in that span. His orchestration of the Red Raiders’ offense, which scored 100 points in its last outing, will be central to their game plan. Cincinnati’s recent success has been a team effort. Alongside Miller, center Moustapha Thiam erupted for 28 points against Kansas, and Jalen Celestine added 14 points and eight rebounds. The Bearcats have averaged 84.0 points during their winning streak. Texas Tech’s defense, however, has held its last three opponents to an average of 63.0 points at home. The Red Raiders have not lost at United Spirit Arena since a one-point setback against Kansas on Feb. 2. A Cincinnati victory would bolster its NCAA tournament resume and mark its most significant winning streak in conference play. For Texas Tech, a win is crucial to maintain its position near the top of the Big 12 standings and solidify its seeding for March. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. CST Tuesday. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. Up Next: Cincinnati hosts Oklahoma State on Saturday. Texas Tech travels to face Iowa State on Saturday.
