Cincinnati pushed late for an at-large tournament berth this year, scoring key wins against Iowa State, Kansas, and BYU.Â
It still may not be enough. The middle bloc of the Big 12 isn’t getting much tournament love this year, and the Bearcats had no key nonconference wins to buoy their schedule.Â
Cincinnati fans will have to sit and wait on Selection Sunday.
