Cincinnati vs Houston Game Preview

Why Cincinnati Will Win

It’s been a rough run lately with five losses in the last six games, but the defense continues to be solid, the offense is moving the ball around well, and no one in the American Athletic Conference shoots more threes.

It’s going to bomb away. It’s just a question of whether or not a few more shots go in.

The Bearcats only hit four of their 20 threes in the 80-58 loss to Houston back in early February, but that was one of their worst shooting days of the year.

Cincinnati has to somehow keep this close, hit a few more threes to put the pressure on, and get Houston to the free throw line. The Cougars only hit 66% on the line.

However …

Why Houston Will Win

Cincinnati hasn’t exactly caught fire offensively since that loss to the Cougars.

Again, its defense is okay, but the shooting has been a disaster from the outside. The O has failed to get past 25% from three in four of the last five games and in seven of the last ten.

Houston isn’t lighting it up outside, either, but it’s making up for it with a whole lot points on the move and a ton of assists and good passes for easy points.

How well are the Cougars moving the ball? They have 20 assists in each of the last two games and lead the AAC overall.

What’s Going To Happen

Houston is playing better and better at just the right time, and Cincinnati has picked the wrong time to hit a rough patch. Neither trend will stop here.

The Cougars will hit more threes than they did in the first meeting, but they won’t be consistent enough from the inside and won’t be able to match a few quick Houston runs.

American Athletic Conference Championship: Cincinnati vs Houston Game Preview

Why Houston Will Win

Shhhhhhhhhh, it’s been a very, very quiet Houston team that’s been able to sneak on through the season with 11 straight wins after dropping the opener to Texas Tech, and now it’s here with more than enough talent to play the spoiler role.

It’s not just about taking the American Athletic Conference title for the Cougars. Win this, and they might get the New Year’s Six bowl slot.

There isn’t that Notre Dame win like Cincinnati has, and there’s not even an Indiana – Houston didn’t beat a Power Five team – but the offense has been able to roll with a whole lot of points, the special teams makes a whole lot of big plays, and the defense is like nothing Cincinnati has seen since South Bend.

This Houston defense can swarm.

It’s amazing against the run – it held everyone but Navy to under 150 yards and allowed fewer than 100 yards in six of the last eight games – the pass rush is a terror, and this group takes the ball away in bunches.

The Cougars lead the American Athletic Conference in turnover margin, they’ve forced multiple takeaways in five of the last eight games, and Cincinnati turns the ball over WAY too often – three giveaways in three of the last four games.

Why Cincinnati Will Win

Yeah, Houston has done a whole lot of big things and it’s been building to this point, but …

Houston’s schedule makes Cincinnati’s slate look like the SEC West.

Not to schedule-shame the American Athletic Conference, but Houston has played – according to the official NCAA stats – the second-easiest schedule in college football ahead of only Coastal Carolina.

The best win was over … SMU? Tulsa? There’s not a whole lot of meat on that bone.

No, Cincinnati’s schedule really isn’t that great – everyone knows the problem at this point when it comes to the College Football Playoff discussion – but even with a few close calls against some awful teams, the defense was still a rock when it had to be, the special teams has come up with huge plays to change around games – Indiana and East Carolina were the two biggies – and the offensive line has stepped up as games have gone on.

The Houston offensive line has ben fine. It hasn’t been special, and that could be the big difference against a Cincinnati defensive front that holds up well and should live in the backfield in this.

What’s Going To Happen

How much will the Houston control matter?

Cincinnati is usually able to get teams to play on its terms, but it never seems to have the ball – time of possession doesn’t seem to mean much to Luke Fickell and this team.

On the flip side, Houston dominates the clock and the pace, keeping the ball for over 33 minutes per game as it makes teams press. Cincinnati will come up with a few mistakes as it tries to make something big happen to keep drives alive.

And then it’ll make something big happen to change the momentum around.

Houston will be deep in this for a full four quarters, but for the second year in a row, Cincinnati – thanks to a brilliant drive from QB Desmond Ridder – will pull out the American Athletic Conference championship in a thriller.

And then it’ll quickly check on what’s happening in the SEC Championship that’s going on at the exact same time.

Why Cincinnati Will Win

Houston is a bit banged up, with the biggest loss star WR Marquez Stevenson, who’s out with an ankle injury. The bigger problem is a Cougar run D that’s also hurting.

This isn’t a high-flying Bearcat team through the air, but the passing game works. It’s the ground attack that’s the biggest plus with over 550 yards in the last two weeks with the key blowout wins over SMU and Memphis.

BYU didn’t bother to run on the Cougars – the passing attack worked too well – and Navy couldn’t get going, but UCF ripped off big dash after big dash with 353 yards on the ground.

RB Gerrid Doaks has been great, but QB Desmond Ridder has taken his game up a few notches. He ran for 179 yards and three scores against SMU, hit 80% of his passes against Memphis – and ran for two touchdowns – and now Houston has to deal with all of it.

Why Houston Will Win

The Cougar pass rush is a killer.

Cincinnati has been outstanding on third downs, and the offensive line has been good at keeping teams out of the backfield, but it’s about to be under more pressure than it has seen all year.

The UH D might have had huge problems against UCF, but the Cougars generated six sacks and seven tackles for loss. There’s still a high-powered offense even the loss of Stevenson – the passing game will be great, and the ability is there to keep up.

What’s Going To Happen

Cincinnati is a machine.

The defense has been a rock throughout, the offense keeps everything moving with brute force, and there’s surprising explain with the running game to go along with the overall toughness.

Houston is good enough to hang the most point that anyone has against the UC D, but the injuries on both sides of the ball are too important. – not having Stevenson really hurts.

Why Cincinnati Will Win

The Bearcats have been on a nice run, with just two losses in the last ten games, both coming in overtime.

When they shoot well, they win.

Including the 64-62 victory over Houston in early February, UC has won its last nine games when hitting 41% or better from the field – only Dayton shoots better in American Athletic play. It was able to come up with the win the first time around with a great second half run, and by holding its own on the boards.

Houston isn’t going to force a slew of turnovers and mistakes – Cincinnati moves the ball around way too well. It has the type of offense to overcome the Cougar D, but …

– “Go to the bank!” Today’s top pick of the day just released

Why Houston Will Win

Houston is going to win the rebounding margin, because it always wins the rebounding margin.

The nation’s best team not the boards, it didn’t do enough against Cincinnati in the first matchup and wasn’t able to slow down the late run after a great first half.

There won’t be a problem keeping the UC outside shooters from getting into a groove again, and there shouldn’t be the massive free throw disparity – 31 attempts for the Bearcats to 10 – there was the first time around.

What’s Going To Happen

This should be fun.

Both teams can hit the boards, and both teams will turn up the aggressiveness on defense. However, everything had to go right at home over the last several minutes for Cincinnati to pull it off the first time around. This time, Houston will be even better defensively, and again, the free throw shooting will even out.
