After a successful regular season, the Cincinnati Bearcats have landed the No. 6 seed in the East region for this year's NCAA Tournament, as the selection committee announced on Sunday. Cincinnati is one of eight teams from the Big East to get a bid, and the Bearcats were an at large selection coming off a run to the Big East tournament finals.
The East region should pose numerous challenges for a talented Cincinnati team. In the first game of the tournament, the Bearcats will be facing 11th-seeded Texas, with the winner moving on to face No. 3 seeded Florida State or No. 14 seeded St. Bonaventure in the next round.
If the Bearcats have some success early in the tournament, they could eventually face off against No. 2 Ohio State or Big East regular season champ Syracuse.
Cincinnati appeared in the tournament a year ago where they would fall in the 3rd round fellow Big East school and the ultimate National Champion, the Connecticut Huskies.
