(AP Photo/Jessica Hill)The path to win an outright conference championship just became a lot easier for SMU men's basketball team.
The No. 17 Mustangs could lock up the American Athletic Conference title this week following No. 15 Cincinnati's loss to Central Florida on Sunday.
Prior to the weekend, SMU and Cincy each had one conference loss (the teams split their series this season). Now SMU has the edge following its road win over UConn on Saturday and UCF's historic win over the Bearcats.
