While tipoff for the men’s and women’s basketball seasons remains five months away, the Houston squads are already prepping for their 2019-2020 American Athletic Conference opponents.
Coming off a 30-win season, a first place finish in the AAC and a trip to the Sweet 16, the men’s team is looking to repeat as conference regular season champions.
Of the 11 opponents in the conference, the Cougars will battle seven in both home and away meetings.
Two eye-popping opponents are Cincinnati, who defeated Houston in the conference tournament final, and a Memphis team led by former NBA-great Penny Hardaway.
