12:00 PM EST. The #12 Cougars have punched their ticket as the top seed in next week's AAC Tournament and have guaranteed themselves at least a piece of the regular season title, as they are a game up on the Bearcats heading into this contest. Houston guard Corey Davis Jr. said after his team’s 90-79 league-clinching win over SMU, “It means everything, we worked very hard and have been so determined. We fought every game. It’s a testament to how hard we’ve worked and how bad we really want this.” That sounds like a guy that has put a bow on the Cougars first regular season title since taking a share of the Southwest Conference championship in 1991. Houston even cut down the nets at Fertitta Center and head coach Kelvin Sampson added, "We're 15-2 and conference champions."

 

Cincinnati aided the Cougars in their capturing of the AAC's number one seed after dropping a 58-55 decision at UCF on Thursday night, but they can still get a signature win over a ranked opponent today and steal a piece of that regular season title. Prior to that defeat to the Knights, the Bearcats had won five straight games and if not for a 27% second half from the floor at UCF, Cinci probably would have won that game too. When it comes to the AAC regular-season title, the Cougs have already been there, done that and got their t-shirts, while the Bearcats are still fighting and the role of spoiler is one to be relished. Asking the Cougars to put the genie back in the bottle and battle like this game is for all the marbles is silly. This is the Bearcats game to lose and the price is a true bargain.
