Gulp.
Well, here we go. Its just day two of the American Athletic Conference tournament and the Cincinnati Bearcats are already playing in a do-or-die contest. After being blasted back to next month yesterday against Houston, the No. 4 seed Bearcats find themselves facing the precipice with the No. 8 seed UCF Knights standing on the other side.
Even though the Knights are also coming off a loss in the opening round, their 4-3 setback against nationally ranked and No. 1 seed Tulane was a much better way to start the tourney than a 9-1 drubbing by the hands of a team seeded lower (albeit it slightly) in the field.
