CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Bearcats basketball is reportedly finalizing another non-conference matchup in what figures to be a season-opening Friday, Nov. 8 game against Morehead State.

Cincinnati now has six games in the mix for the non-conference, roughly half of the total non-conference tally ahead of an expanded Big 12 schedule with four more schools joining to make a 16-school league.

According to Sport Reference, Cincinnati is 8-1 against Morehead State since 1949.

Here is how the non-conference schedule looks so far:

V. Morehead State - Nov. 8

@ Villanova - Dec. 3
