Wed Jan 29 00:40:00 IST 2025: ## Bearcats Aim for Rebound Against Utah Utes in Big 12 Matchup
**SALT LAKE CITY, UT** – The Cincinnati Bearcats look to rebound from a weekend loss when they face the Utah Utes in a Big 12 Conference clash Tuesday night. Cincinnati will be hoping for a better result after falling to BYU on Saturday.
Utah, coached by Craig Smith, enters the game with an 11-8 overall record but a winless 0-7 mark in Quad 1 games. The Utes, newly arrived in the Big 12, are currently ranked No. 89 in KenPom and No. 78 in the NCAA’s NET rankings. They’ve shown inconsistency, winning three of their last nine games, including a three-game streak against Oklahoma State, TCU, and BYU, before recent losses to Houston and Baylor. The matchup promises a challenging test for the Bearcats as they navigate their Big 12 schedule.
