Pretty monumental game today as the Cincinnati Bearcats attempt to out-win the Louisville Cardinals and take home an inaugural AAC basketball championship. It starts for UC on the road as they travel to Connecticut and face the 26th ranked Huskies. Louisville meanwhile heads to Memphis to take on the 21st ranked Tigers right after Cincinnati and UConn wrap up. Should be a great day of college basketball!
