Sunday's afternoon's game at Fifth Third Arena between West Virginia and Cincinnati features a pair of teams on three-game losing streaks, hungry to get back in the win column.

While it wasn't the outcome they wanted, Darian DeVries has to be pleased with the way his team fought back in the second half of their game earlier this week against No. 6 Houston. They chipped away at a 20-point halftime deficit, climbing back to within five before fatigue set in, along with Sencire Harris getting into foul trouble and Javon Small missing a few minutes with a banged-up knee. If they can capture that intensity and put it on display for forty minutes this afternoon, they'll return home with another Big 12 win in their back pocket.

A few moments ago, both teams released their starting lineups for today's game.
