In their ninth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, the Cincinnati Bearcats will play the role of the seventh seed in the South Region. That role comes along with a first round matchup against the 10th-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes out of the Big Ten on Friday afternoon at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
The Story So Far
The Bearcats will begin play in yet another NCAA Tournament with the title of American Athletic Conference champions on their resume for the second-straight season. As the second seed in the league tourney, they bested Wichita State, SMU and regular season champ Houston en route to that championship.
