The American Conference has so many teams on the NCAA Tournament bubble it should be sponsored by L’Occitane. Both the SMU Mustangs and the Cincinnati Bearcats have a path to Selection Sunday, but will need some wins to hear their name called. Both teams enter Tuesday’s game at 5-2 in the league and have some early quality wins, but need an NET boost to get closer to security and potentially wearing home jerseys in the Round of 64.
Game Time/TV Channel/Streaming
SMU-Cincinnati will be live on ESPN2 at 9 p.m ET. It’s also available on the WatchESPN app.
