Appalachian State at Cincinnati

Cincinnati is off to a 2-0 start and have received great play out of their senior leader, and leading scorer last season in Sean Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick has so far boosted his average from 17 points per game a year ago to 21.5 this season, and was instrumental in a big win in their last time out vs. NC State. They may have trouble playing with energy in today's game after their win over the Wolfpack. Appalachian State started 1-7 a year ago, but finished 15-16. Mike Neal missed those early games, and made a difference when he returned and is back this season. The Mountaineers have stepped up their game against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, where they are an impressive 10-2 ATS in their last 12. The Bearcats have shown little advantage at home where they are 2-10 ATS in their last 12, and will sleep walk through this one. Play on Appalachian State.
