The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team has learned its pairings for the 2017-18 American Athletic Conference portion of the schedule, including games with high-profile newcomer Wichita State.
The AAC announced the pairings Thursday. For UC it includes home and road games against Wichita State, which owns five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and a 2013 Final Four berth.
With the addition of Wichita State to the league for the coming season, the new 12-team format sees each team playing seven of its 11 opponents twice and its four remaining opponents once each, two at home and two away.
