SMU comes off a 75-61 loss at Houston and lost at Temple 11 days earlier, but the Mustangs have not lost at home. They're a perfect 14-0 at home, which includes wins against Houston and Temple. They haven’t beat Cincinnati in ages, but this is the perfect timing as the Bearcats have lost their last four (0-4 ATS). SMU to cover.

SMU is 14-0 at home, having outscored opponents by 14.8 points per game at Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs have dropped 10 straight to Cincinnati, failing to cover the last five matchups, but should get payback here. The Bearcats fought hard in Houston but wilted in the second half en route to their fourth straight loss and sixth in the past seven games. SMU, which leads Memphis by a half-game for the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament, has been resting and prepping since Sunday. Cincinnati is coming off a grueling game in Houston two nights ago. Lay the points.
