After taking down 3-seeded Houston Friday night, the UConn Huskies will take the Cincinnati Bearcats in the semifinals of the AAC Tournament.
These two teams have met three consecutive years in the conference tournament, with the Huskies prevailing each time. They’ve met twice in the quarterfinals and previously met in the 2014 semifinals.
The Bearcats have beaten UConn twice handily already, by 20 in the season finale at Gampel and by 12 at Fifth Third Arena in February. Mick Cronin’s squad lost just twice during the conference slate and is coming off a comfortable win over Tulsa in the quarterfinals.
