Dominant in win Miller registered 25 points (10-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 77-68 victory over Colorado.

Impact Miller dominated down low, putting together his eighth double double of the season and the third such effort in which he's tallied at least 20 and 10. Miller had seen his production dip in his first three conference games after having averaged a double double through 11 non-conference contests but a matchup with the Buffaloes cured all of his ailments as the senior big man also added four dimes and two blocks in the high quality all-around effort. Wednesday's performance was encouraging for Miller but his next matchup will provide a greater test as he and the Bearcats are set up for a matchup against a second-ranked Iowa State squad that is coming off its first loss of the season.

All-around producer Miller accumulated 13 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 73-72 loss to UCF.

Impact Cincinnati may be struggling as a program, but Miller remains a consistent fantasy asset due to his all-around production. He's a capable scorer, with games of 24 and 26 points this season, but the ancillary stats are there even when the shots aren't falling. He chips in 10.6 rebounds per contest, and his 3.0 apg mark is excellent for a 6-11 center, not to mention 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals. It's a small sample size, but his rebounding average has dropped more than three per game in three Big 12 games, so it remains to be seen if the senior might hit a wall in conference play. That said, Miller has a positive fantasy outlook until proven otherwise.

Good to go Monday Miller (lower body) is available against Tarleton State on Monday, per Bearcats Talk.

Impact Miller was expected to be a true game-time call, and indeed, the forward will suit up and play. He missed the last two games for Cincinnati, but he'll return Monday night in another buy game for the Wildcats. Miller averages 14.4 points and 10.0 rebounds this season.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Miller has missed the last two games for Cincinnati, but has a great shot to return Monday night against Tarleton State. It looks like a wait-and-see situation with the big man, with a final answer coming much closer to tip-off. The senior center is in the midst of a career year this far in 2025-2026, averaging 14.4 points and 10.0 rebounds.

Doesn't play Wednesday Miller (lower body) didn't play in Wednesday's game against Eastern Michigan.

Impact This was Miller's second straight absence, and until he returns to the hardwood, Jalen Celestine is expected to fill his place in the starting lineup. Miller's next chance to play will come against Tarleton State on Monday, Dec. 1.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Status doubtful Miller (lower body) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Eastern Michigan, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Miller's updated status suggests he will sit out another game. He already sat out Monday's game against NJIT, and the Bearcats responded to his injury-related absence by starting Jalen Celestine, who struggled with zero makes and six misses in 11 minutes. It would not be surprising if they make Miller sit out another game but opt for a change in their starting frontcourt.

Out Monday, considered day-to-day Miller (lower body) isn't available for Cincinnati's clash with NJIT on Monday, the team announced.

Impact Miller is apparently day-to-day, so the starting forward's injury -- at least at the moment -- isn't considered too serious. Through five games, Miller has gotten off to an excellent start, averaging 14.4 points and 10.0 rebounds. His next chance to play will come against Eastern Michigan on Nov. 26.
