Staff Picks: AAC Tournament

Matt Opper - As much as I would love for the Bearcats to do the double and send the Cardinals home with a loss in the last match up in a while between the two, I just don't see it. The Bearcats looked magnificent in gutting Memphis at home, but they followed up with a clunker of a performance at Rutgers 36 hours later. UC will have to string together three straight great performances to claim the conference double, and I just don't see it. Though I hope I am wrong.

Jeff Gentil - I think UC can make the title game. They match up well with Memphis as they've beaten them handily both times. I just think it's very hard to beat a team three times in a season especially twice on their home floor. Like Matt said, UC hasn't put two good games in a row together in a while, but I do like the way the role players have come back into the picture picking up their play and helping out Sean Kilpatrick. I'll stick to my guns since most tournaments don't go by without any upsets.
