Setting the scene
Cincinnati has not lost to an AAC opponent — in the regular season or in a championship game — since Memphis defeated the Bearcats in back-to-back weeks at the tail end of 2019. The Bearcats have been the standard of the league ever since, rattling off 18 consecutive victories against AAC competition, including two triumphs in the conference title game.
