The American Athletic Conference ain’t great, but here are the two teams which will compete with UConn for the conference regular season title. In many ways the field is as clear as it has ever been for UConn to take its first AAC regular season crown.
Cincinnati
Head Coach: Mick Cronin, 22-40 (350-145)
2015-16 Record: 22-11, NCAA Tournament First Round
KenPom: 28 (50 Off, 13 Def)
Coaches Poll: 25
CBS Sports All 351 Poll: 30
2015-2016 Season: Cincinnati won two closely contested matchups with UConn in the regular season last year but was bounced from the AAC Tournament by the Huskies in an epic, four-overtime AAC quarterfinal battle as freshman Jalen Adams already cemented his place in the UConn Men’s Basketball pantheon.
