CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati rebounded from a tough loss at No. 18 Butler with an impressive victory over Texas Southern.Now, Mick Cronins No. 25 Bearcats look to build momentum heading into American Athletic Conference play, beginning with Saturdays game against Fairleigh Dickinson at Fifth Third Arena (2:30 p.m. ET).We try as a team to continue to grow every day and get better to do what we want to do in March, senior guard Kevin Johnson said. Its a long season. Were going to go through our bumps and bruises but as long as we continue to improve every day and get better on offense and communicate on defense well have a great March.Cincinnati (8-2) provided glimpses into its potential this season with a win at then-No. 19 Iowa State and a narrow loss to then-No. 21 Rhode Island.On Saturday against a Texas Southern team with quality mid-major talent, the Bearcats erupted for 59 second-half points led by freshman Jarron Cumberland who scored a career-high 18 points and went 4 of 4 from 3-point range.Jarron has had some really good practices, Cronin said. Ive been on him to be aggressive. I was happier with his defense and his rebounding. I have been on him about not living behind the line. I have really been on all of our perimeter guys about that. I knew it was going to show eventually that he could play.Cumberland gives the Bearcats another option off the bench and that depth should serve them well at tournament time. Cincinnati was shooting 74.2 percent late in the second half Tuesday, a good sign for the Bearcats offense which has been stagnant at times.Cincinnati is looking for another balanced performance from Gary Clark, who scored 13 points and tied a career-high with six assists Tuesday.Fairleigh Dickinson (2-8) hung in there at Rutgers on Wednesday night before the Scarlet Knights pulled away in the second half for an 82-69 victory.Darian Anderson came off the bench to score 22 points and Mike Holloway added 14, but Fairleigh Dickinson was outrebounded 43-31 -- 16-8 on the offensive end, something that doesnt bode well against an aggressive rebounding team such as Cincinnati.Its a learning process, Knights coach Greg Herenda said. We just have to try to put two halves together on the road. Its difficult (schedule). I love it. Down the road, its going to help our basketball team.Cincinnati won 14 consecutive games at Fifth Third Arena dating to a 77-70 loss to Temple on Dec. 29, 2015.The Knights already have faced Seton Hall, Ohio State, and Rutgers -- all on the road. Herenda said his players wont be stuck staring at the banners on the wall of Fifth Third Arena.I dont think well be in shock, Herenda said. Playing in Cincinnati is another species. Theyve won national championships. Oscar Robertson played there. Its going to be hard, but itll be a lot of fun. Air Max 90 Uomo Saldi .

Friday, September 23Geelong ($1.62) vs. Sydney ($2.35), MCG at 7:50pmTeam news: Geelong will be well rested after enjoying their extra week off and likely to welcome back defender Lachie Henderson from injury. Despite Mick Malthouse calling for the Cats to drop Jimmy Bartel, the veteran is also expected to be named in the side.The Swans on the other hand will head to the MCG with a number of injury concerns. Skipper Jarrad McVeigh and speedster Gary Rohan are both in doubt after picking up injuries in last weeks semifinal win over Adelaide.Both sides will be aiming to make a fifth grand final appearance in 12 years.Key head-to-head: Patrick Dangerfield vs. Tom MitchellIs it too simple to say: stop Dangerfield and stop Geelong? Probably, but such is Dangerfields impact that the Swans must place huge emphasis on stopping the dynamic midfielder.In the only previous game between these two sides this season, in Round 16, Dangerfield produced one of the most dominant quarters in recent memory, winning?18 possessions in the first term.The Dangerfield destruction forced John Longmire into using Mitchell as a tagger on the rampaging Cat, and he certainly limited Dangerfields influence after the first break, helping?the Swans to an impressive 38-point win at Simonds Stadium.While coaches prefer the we have to worry about the whole team, not just one player approach, its fair to say Longmire and his coaching staff will be putting plenty of hours into how to combat Dangerfield -- and Mitchell will almost certainly be given the task from the opening bounce.If Dangerfield can defy the Swans plans, Geelong will have one foot in the grand final. If Mitchell brings his kryptonite to curb the AFLs Superman, the Swans may win through.Geelong: B Corey Enright, Tom Lonergan, Lachie Henderson HB Jake Kolodjashnij, Harry Taylor, Andrew Mackie C Cameron Guthrie, Joel Selwood, Scott Selwood HF Steven Motlop, Rhys Stanley, Mark Blicavs F Lincoln McCarthy, Tom Hawkins, Jimmy Bartel FOL Zac Smith, Patrick Dangerfield, Mitch Duncan I/C Jed Bews, Josh Caddy, Josh Cowan, Sam MenegolaSydney: B Dane Rampe, Aliir Aliir, Nick Smith HB Harrison Marsh, Heath Grundy, Jeremy Laidler C Jake Lloyd, Josh P.ddddddddddddKennedy, Isaac Heeney HF George Hewett, Lance Franklin, Luke Parker F Tom Papley, Kurt Tippett, Ben McGlynn FOL Sam Naismith, Dan Hannebery, Kieren Jack I/C Zak Jones, Tom Mitchell, Xavier Richards, Gary RohanKey Stat: Eight of the last nine matches between these sides have been decided by a margin over 20 points.UBET verdict:?Sydney have won three of the past four meetings against Geelong, but picked up a couple of injuries in last weeks win over Adelaide.Normally in finals matches, the bet numbers are heavily weighted towards the underdogs, with the bigger money bets on the favourites, but on this occasion Geelong lead the way in both categories. On paper it looks like being close.Weather: Partly cloudy with a top of 17. No rain expected.Prediction: The last time these sides met in a final it was an epic, with Nick Davis booting four final term goals to emerge as an unlikely hero for the Swans. Both sides have classy midfields and you can expect them to be locked in an arm-wrestle all night.But, this game will be won by the key forwards. Can Tom Hawkins clunk his marks and kick accurately to guide the Cats to victory, or will Lance Franklin write another chapter of Buddy finals folklore??Tip: Swans?by 10 points.Enter your ESPNfootytips AFL selections ' ' '
