Nick Niehaus and Eric Lilly bring you the midweek show.

Now, here's an AI written Summary of what can be expected in this show. Sue us.

After starting 0-4 in Big 12 play, our Cincinnati Bearcats have bounced back with two straight wins. While victories over Colorado and Arizona State were much-needed, the real test comes Tuesday night when we host Texas Tech.

These past two games have shown flashes of what this team can be. Against Arizona State, we built a 16-point lead and held on for a 7-point win. It wasn't always pretty, but we're seeing improvement in key areas.

C.J. Fredrick's return from injury provided a spark off the bench. Though his stat line was modest (6 points in 16 minutes), his presence opened things up offensively. When he's on the floor, defenses have to account for his shooting ability.

We're still struggling from three-point range as a team (22% vs ASU), but our transition offense looked much improved. We outscored the Sun Devils 25-2 in fast break points, a huge factor in the win.

Defensively, we remain elite - currently ranked 7th nationally by KenPom. If we can continue to create turnovers and get out in transition, it takes pressure off our half-court offense.

Now comes our biggest test yet - a home date with Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are 13-4 overall and 4-2 in Big 12 play. They're coming off an impressive win over Arizona and sit 12th in KenPom's rankings.

Tech is a balanced team, ranking 10th offensively and 35th defensively. They're led by J.T. Topping, who's nearly averaging a double-double (16 points, 9 rebounds). Their roster is filled with transfers from mid-major programs who have gelled quickly.

This game feels like a potential turning point for our season. A win would be our first signature victory and silence some of the doubters. A loss would undo much of the goodwill from the past two games.

We have some advantages to exploit. Texas Tech is undersized compared to us, so dominating the glass will be crucial. They're also on short rest after playing Saturday, while we've had an extra day to prepare.

Ultimately, this is a chance to prove we belong among the Big 12's best. We're overdue for a statement win at home. If we can play with the same energy and execution we've shown the past two games, we have a real shot at the upset.

The Bearcats need to play desperate, win 50/50 balls, and take advantage of our size edge inside. Do that, and we might just send a message to the rest of the conference on Tuesday night.

The Cincinnati Bearcats have notched their first two-game Big 12 winning streak in the regular season, defeating Arizona State 67-60 in a gritty performance. While the game wasn't always pretty, it showcased the team's resilience and ability to grind out a victory when it matters most.

Several players stepped up to contribute to the win. Dillon Mitchell led the charge with 14 points, while Simas Lukosius added 10. Jizzle James broke out of his recent slump, putting up 11 points, and Dan Skillings chipped in with 12. This balanced scoring attack is exactly what the Bearcats need to compete in the tough Big 12 conference.

One of the key factors in the victory was Cincinnati's dominance in transition. The Bearcats outscored Arizona State 25-2 in fast break points, highlighting their ability to capitalize on turnovers and push the pace. This aggressive style of play could be a game-changer for Cincinnati as they look to make a push in the conference standings.

Defensively, the Bearcats continue to impress. Currently ranked as the 8th best defense in the country, Cincinnati's hard-nosed approach is becoming their identity. This defensive prowess will be crucial as they face tougher opponents in the coming weeks.

Looking ahead, the Bearcats face a significant test against Texas Tech. A win against the Red Raiders could potentially vault Cincinnati back into the NCAA Tournament conversation. With their current record of 12-5 (2-4 in conference play), the Bearcats are on the bubble, listed as one of the "First Four Out" according to recent bracketology predictions.

The team's recent success has breathed new life into their season. If they can maintain this momentum and continue to improve offensively while relying on their stout defense, the Bearcats could make a serious run in the latter half of the season.
