The NCAA Tournament is everything these days in college basketball, but the University of Cincinnati still wants to hang another American Athletic Conference championship banner in Fifth Third Arena.
The No. 15-ranked Bearcats (24-3, 13-1 AAC) will continue their march to a potential AAC title against Memphis (18-9, 8-6 AAC) on Thursday at UC at 7 p.m. (ESPN).
UC has not won a league championship since the 2013-14 season when the Bearcats shared the AAC title with Louisville. UC senior guards Kevin Johnson and Troy Caupain were freshmen on the 2013-14 team.
“It’s very important,” Johnson said of another league title.
