The American Athletic Conference announced the tip-off times for the AAC tournament. The tournament will take place starting Wednesday and continue until Saturday where the championship game will take place at 6pm.
The Cincinnati Bearcats tip off their tournament Thursday at 7pm in Memphis against the winner of the Temple vs. UCF game. Cincinnati defeated both teams the two times they played them this season. So an advance to the semi finals isn’t unrealistic. If/when the Bearcats reach that they will play Friday at 9pm against the winner of the UConn v. Memphis game.
With a championship in the conference tournament that will all but guarantee them at least a #4 seed and potentially a #3 seed in the NCAA tournament.
