[h=1]Connecticut Huskies vs. Cincinnati Bearcats[/h][h=1]Pick: Cincinnati -1[/h][h=1]In this quarterfinals matchup of the AAC tournament, you’ve got the Huskies and Bearcats matching up for the third time this season. So far this season the Bearcats have taken both matchups between the two by a combined 6 total points. Cincinnati plays a very bruising game as they have some of the best bigs in the American on their frontline with Octavius Ellis and Gary Clark, while Troy Caupain handles the backcourt duties. Defensively, they rank 7[SUP]th[/SUP] best in the nation in terms of points per game, and they also rank 11[SUP]th[/SUP] best in field goal % holding opponents to 38.8% from the field. The Huskies on the other hand, are right up there with Cincinnati on defense, as they rank 10[SUP]th[/SUP] in the nation in points per game given up, and 5[SUP]th[/SUP] in field goal % holding opponents to 38.3% from the field. This game could end up being a race to 60 points, and I like the Bearcats to win this one and sweep UConn this year. [/h]
