Cincinnati Bearcats basketball took on BYU in Provo in a Big 12 road contest Saturday night. Here is what we learned from beat reporter Scott Springer

It will be extremely difficult to knock off the Cougars in the mountains. BYU is 9-1 at home and 2-1 in Quad 2 games, as Cincinnati fits that distinction being a team ranked outside the NET's top 30. The Bearcats are 2-1 against BYU since the 1949-50 season, winning by an average of 11 points.

Fresh off a comeback victory vs. Colorado, Coach Katrina Merriweather's Bearcats are in Tucscon against Arizona Wednesday night at 8 p.m. (Eastern). A win would give them three straight in the Big 12 for the first time.
