Summary
Nick Niehaus and Eric Lilly break down the Cincinnati Bearcats’ newly finalized 2026-27 basketball schedule after the Big 12 officially announced conference opponents on Thursday. With summer workouts underway, Jerrod Calhoun’s first team in Cincinnati is beginning to take shape ahead of what looks to be another challenging season. The Bearcats are once again set to face one of the toughest schedules in college basketball, featuring a loaded non-conference slate and another brutal run through the Big 12. Cincinnati will host rival Houston for both matchups this season, while also welcoming Kansas to Fifth Third Arena and playing home-and-home series against Texas Tech and West Virginia. The guys discuss what the schedule means for Cincinnati’s NCAA Tournament hopes, early expectations for Calhoun’s first season, and why the Bearcats could once again be tested by one of the toughest conferences in the country.
