The regular season is over. But who cares? The real season will start tomorrow as the American Athletic Conference baseball tournament gets going tomorrow afternoon at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla., home of the Clearwater Threshers and the spring training home of the Philadelphia Phillies.

But before we digress to much, let's get back to it. There's a there's a tournament and you know what tournaments mean? That's right, brackets. Here's a little hit to help you reverse the NCAA Tournament withdrawal you've been feeling since early April.

Now, let's focus on what really matters: where do the Bearcats fit in? Despite winning two extra-inning affairs against Memphis over the weekend, UC fell short of claiming the No. 1 seed and the AAC regular season crown. Instead, the Bearcats settled for the No. 4 seed, which pits them against No. 5 Houston in game one of the tournament. They are on the same side of the bracket as No. 1 Tulane and No. 8 UCF, while the other side of the bracket has No. 7 USF against No. 2 East Carolina and No. 6 Memphis against No. 3 UConn. Here's the full schedule for the week since you asked. (We have telekinetic powers. Deal with it).
