Projected Starters

Last Time Out / Series / Last Meeting

The Warriors are coming off an 89-85 win over Felician on Dec. 9. The back-and-forth contest against the D-III opponent gave the Warriors a scare, but they pulled away late with five players in double figures.

The Bearcats are 8-2 on the season but have lost two out of their last three games. On Dec. 9, Cincinnati fell at Xavier 84-79, and they lost at Dayton this past Saturday 82-68. Sandwiched between those games was an 85-53 drubbing of Bryant.

The Bearcats will be Merrimack's first-ever Big 12 opponent, and the programs have never met.
