12. Cincinnati Bearcats

Previous Ranking: 13

Record: 21-2 (10-0 American)

Cincy took down Tulsa on the road and UConn at home to stay unbeaten last week. They continue to crop up the top 25 rankings going into a showdown with UCF on Wednesday.

Kyle Washington dominated the team’s recent win over Connecticut. The NC State transfer scored 27 points and added eight rebounds in the 14-point win. Washington also went 3-of-5 from deep and that extra dimension has definitely helped this team reach its current ranking. Cincy is a deadly team with their defense and versatility.
