The Eastern Kentucky Colonels and the Cincinnati Bearcats meet in college basketball action from the Fifth Third Arena on Sunday afternoon.

The Eastern Kentucky Colonels will be out to bounce back from their 66-60 loss to Western Kentucky last time out. Cooper Robb led the way with 11 points on 4 of 8 shooting with 3 threes while Dashawn Jackson, Tayshawn Comer, Devontae Blanton and Michael Moreno each had 10 points to cap off the scoring in double figures for the Colonels with Blanton logging a team-high 4 assists while Moreno had 3 threes and 5 rebounds. Isaiah Cozart also added a team-high 12 rebounds in the win for the Colonels.

The Cincinnati Bearcats will try to build on a 69-58 win over Cleveland State last time out. David DeJulius led the Bearcats with 18 point on 5 of 9 shooting with a pair of threes and a team-high 6 assists while Landers Nolley II added 16 points with 5 rebounds. Viktor Lakhin added 14 points on 6 of 7 shooting with 12 rebounds for the double-double to round out the scoring in double figures for Cincinnati in the winning effort. Jeremiah Davenport added 4 assists as well in the winning effort for the Bearcats.

Eastern Kentucky is 1-11 ATS in their last 12 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 games following a loss. Cincinnati is 25-62-2 ATS in their last 89 Sunday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 7-2 in their last 9 home games.

I get the reasoning for Cincinnati being favored so far, but the problem is that the Bearcats have yet to have that dominant performance against a D-I opponent. Beating Chaminade is all well and good, but it doesn’t mean anything when you aren’t covering against the teams you’re lined against. Eastern Kentucky battled Western Kentucky hard last time out and I think they could end up giving Cincinnati a game here. Give me the Colonels and the points.
