No. 5 Cincinnati vs. No. 12 Monmouth

The Bearcats come into this bracketology as the fifth seed in the Midwest region. It’s also well-deserved, at least through the first month of the season since they are currently the 24th ranked team in the country.

Cincinnati has really only had one tough game so far this season. In that game, they lost by ten points to a Butler team that we will see later in this post.

In terms of this game, I don’t think Monmouth will be able to keep pace with the Bearcats. Although, they did lose by just one point to 22nd ranked South Carolina back in November.

There is usually at least one five seed that goes down in March, could this be the game?

Next: No. 4 vs. No. 13
