Perhaps there isn’t a more fitting path to the AAC Tournament title game than through the Connecticut Huskies.
The Bearcats will take on Connecticut in the semifinals of the AAC Tournament on Saturday, and they’ll do so in the XL Center in Hartford, CT, making this essentially a home game for the Huskies. This is a rematch of last year’s AAC four-overtime thriller, which saw Connecticut emerge with a 104-97 victory.

It was an instant classic game that saw the Huskies hit a 65-foot three-pointer as time expired at the end of the third overtime, and it was representative of so many games that came before it.
