There are two ways this can go. Either the Cincinnati Bearcats are about to earn a share of the American Athletic Conference championship or lose it. Those are the stakes in Sunday’s regular season finale against the Houston Cougars at Fifth Third Arena.
The Bearcats could have been playing for their second-straight outright conference title, but a 58-55 setback against UCF on Thursday night doused those hopes. Despite that, the Bearcats are still within range of at least a share thanks to a 14-3 league record overall, which they bolstered with a five-game winning streak prior to the UCF loss.
