In order to claim dominion over the American Athletic Conference, the No. 14 Cincinnati Bearcats must beat their conference rivals, the Connecticut Huskies in a battle at Fifth Third Arena Saturday afternoon.
It may seem like a team on a 13-game winning streak has little left to prove but after UConn ripped UC’s lungs out in a four-overtime marathon in the AAC tourney last season, the Bearcats need to win Saturday. UC (20-2, 9-0 AAC) is coming off a thrilling 57-55 win on the road over Tulsa, which came down to a last-second shot from Troy Caupain.
