CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bearcats (6-0) hit the road again this week for a matchup against Villanova (4-4) at 6:30 p.m. ET on FS1 Tuesday night. The Wildcats have struggled mightily to start the season, but it is still the best team Cincinnati's played yet and the best team they'll have played on the road before conference play.

However, it didn’t exactly go as planned. Cincinnati took their first loss of the season, dropping the game 68-60 to the Wildcats.
