The AAC released their tournament and pairings information last week, benefiting the Bearcats during the regular season.
It seems as though the AAC is starting to realize that it needs its "powerhouse" teams to play as often as possible (though the term "powerhouse" is subject to opinion). Last week, the conference released both the final AAC tournament details and the regular season basketball pairings for 2016.
The tournament will once again be played in a city where one of the schools is located (UCF/Orlando). The major benefit of it being played in Orlando is that UCF does not have the best basketball team and ideally it will not have too much of a home court advantage during the tournament.
