The Cincinnati Bearcats woke up Sunday morning knowing they were locked into the No. 2 seed in the upcoming American Athletic Conference tournament. The Bearcats could not tie SMU for the regular-season championship, and there was no shot at the No. 1 seed.

Winthrop 76, Campbell 59
Senior guard Keon Johnson scored 26 points and Winthrop earned its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2010 by registering a 76-59 victory over Campbell on Sunday in the Big South tournament title game at Rock Hill, S.C.

There will be no waiting game for Wichita State this March, no week full of hope and angst, no sleepless nights wondering if it will be a part of the NCAA Tournament.

No. 16 Purdue's plan was to give Vincent Edwards some maneuvering room under the basket on Sunday.

Coach Greg Gard takes pride in No. 22 Wisconsin's defense, and the Badgers delivered a second-half crackdown to sweep the two-game season series with Minnesota.
Michigan 93, Nebraska 57
Michigan lit up Nebraska's defense all night and spoiled senior night for the Huskers in a 93-57 Big Ten Conference victory on Sunday before a crowd of 15,293 at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
