Cincinnati Bearcats are one victory away from the NCAA Tournament, face Houston for AAC title

The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team isn't finished yet.

With freshman Mason Madsen (10 points) being the only Cincinnati player to score in double figures, the fifth-seeded Bearcats held on to defeat top-seeded Wichita State, 60-59, on Saturday in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference tournament in Fort Worth, Texas.

"The locker room was crazy, really fun, obviously," Madsen said. "But we know we have to refocus. We're going to enjoy this one for the next couple of hours, but obviously, being in the position we're in, there's a quick turnaround tomorrow against either Memphis or Houston, two really good teams.
