Amani Lyles - Leads Bearcat Bench Lyles ended Thursday's 81-64 win over Green Bay with 14 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes.

Impact Lyles rebounded from a quiet opening night by leading the Bearcat second-teamers with a quality all-around effort off the bench. The fifth-year senior is one of the players to benefit from being granted an extra year of eligibility and comes to Cincinnati after having spent his first four seasons with Akron, including a breakout performance last season during which he averaged 14.9 points and 7.9 rebounds for the Zips.

MJ Collins Jr. - Solid start to season Collins logged 14 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Thursday's 81-64 victory over Green Bay.

Impact Collins led the Bearcats with six assists as he put together a second straight solid performance to open the season. The 6-foot-4 senior didn't join the Cincinnati program until a few weeks ago when he was granted eligibility thanks to an Ohio court ruling as a result of the new 5-in-5 rule. Collins has averaged 13.5 points and 3.0 steals through two games and is set to be a key contributor for the Bearcats this season.

Myles Colvin - Drains six triples in 28-point effort Colvin finished Thursday's 81-64 win over Green Bay with 28 points (9-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes.

Impact Colvin struggled in just 15 minutes of action on opening night but rebounded by draining six triples en route to a team-leading 28 point effort as the Bearcats cruised to victory. Colvin also added six boards and contributed on the defensive end with a couple of blocks and a steal. The 6-foot-5 senior wing comes to Cincinnati with plenty of power conference experience, having played two seasons at Purdue prior to moving to Wake Forest last season, where he started 24 of 35 contests, averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals. He figures to be a key contributor for the Bearcats this season.

Jayden Hastings - Out Thursday Hastings (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game versus Wisconsin-Green Bay, the team announced.

Impact Hastings will miss Thursday's game after suffering a shoulder injury during Monday's contest. He's considered week-to-week, so he'll likely also miss Monday's game versus Minnesota. Riley Allenspach should see more playing time in his absence.

Akai Fleming - Out vs. Green Bay, deemed day-to-day Fleming (knee) is out versus Green Bay on Thursday night and is considered day-to-day for the Bearcats, the program announced.

Impact Fleming played 17 minutes off the bench in the opener for the Bearcats, posting nine points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals in an easy win over American. Now, however, he's poised to miss game two, although considering he's day-to-day, the guard has a shot to return on Monday against Minnesota.

25 Men's College Basketball Transfers To Watch During The 2026-27 Season

Javontae Campbell - Doesn't appear in opener Campbell (undisclosed) did not take the court in Monday's 79-53 victory over American.

Impact Cincinnati emptied its entire bench in both an Oct. 27 exhibition against Oakland, as well as Monday, and Campbell wasn't one of the 14 players to see the court. The fifth-year senior is listed on the Cincinnati roster, and given his high-volume scoring at Bowling Green last year (18.7 ppg), he'd have presumably seen the court if healthy. His next chance for game action is Thursday against UW-Green Bay.

Jayden Hastings - Won't return Monday Hastings is out for the remainder of Monday's game against American due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Hastings received treatment at least twice for his injured shoulder. The Bearcats will play it safe and won't allow the star forward to return to the hardwood. His next chance to play will come against Wisconsin-Green Bay on Thursday.

Coaching Changes That Will Impact The 2026-27 Men's College Basketball Season

Here's a look at the coaching changes that could have a major impact on the 2026-27 men's college basketball season.

OCTOBER 30 • FOX SPORTS

Coaching Changes That Will Impact The 2026-27 Men's College Basketball Season

Adlan Elamin - Will play Monday Elamin (toe) will play Monday against American, according to Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com.

Impact Elamin was previously listed as questionable for Monday's season opener due to a toe blister that kept him out of the team's recent exhibition matchup, but he appears to be good to go against American.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Adlan Elamin - Returning to practice soon Elamin (toe) is dealing with a large blister but is expected to return to practice in the coming days, per Paul Fritschner of Rebound Rundown.

Impact Elamin was held out of Cincinnati's recent exhibition matchup due to the issue but is expected to return to practice within the next couple of days. The 6-foot-10 sophomore joined the Bearcats in the off-season after transferring in from Utah State where he averaged 6.7 points and 3.1 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game a year ago.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Akai Fleming - Scores 10 off bench Fleming (knee) logged 10 points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist and one steal across 10 minutes during Tuesday's preseason win over Oakland.

Impact Fleming's best attribute is his scoring ability. Last season, as a freshman for Georgia Tech, he logged 10.4 points per game. The sophomore's value will depend on how much he is used. In 17 games where Fleming has played at least 25 minutes, the guard logged double-digit points all but twice. Ten minutes is not a promising indicator that Fleming can continue his scoring prowess, but he may earn more playing time down the line.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Perryman - Exemplary playmaking in exhibition Perryman (calf) logged three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and two steals during Tuesday's preseason win over Oakland.

Impact Perryman's 2025-26 season indicates that his biggest strength is playmaking. Despite logging more than 15.0 minutes per game last season, he averaged more than 3.0 assists, an impressive rate for a regular reserve under Utah State's then-head coach Jerrod Calhoun. It appears that the backup role will remain, if Tuesday's preseason game is any indication. Though a jump up in overall competition may hinder his playmaking prospects, Perryman can be a surprising asset in that department should he acclimate well to his new team, also under Calhoun.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Akai Fleming - In uniform Tuesday Fleming (knee) is dressed ahead of Tuesday's exhibition against Oakland, according to Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com.

Impact Fleming is trending in the right direction toward being available after sitting out the team's previous exhibition against Illinois. His potential return would give Cincinnati another backcourt option heading into the regular season.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Amani Lyles - Lands at Cincinnati Lyles will transfer to Cincinnati, per On3.

Impact Lyles is currently eligible for a fifth year of eligibility, under protection via one of the many lawsuits against the NCAA. The 6-9 forward was a star for Akron as a senior, averaging 14.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 56/37/72 shooting splits This is a massive pickup for the Bearcats' frontcourt.

Myles Colvin - Quick return against Illinois Colvin (undisclosed) logged two points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 16 minutes during Cinncinati's exhibition loss to Illinois.

Impact Cincinnati's preseason schedule began Oct. 7, and Colvin suffered an undisclosed injury that rendered him questionable for Saturday's exhibition. Fortunately for the senior, he did not miss any game time, though his role was reduced to backup duty against Illinois. Colvin will attempt to work his way back into Cincinnati's starting lineup. In 24 starts with Wake Forest last season, he logged 11.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Javontae Campbell - Dealing with undisclosed injury Campbell is dealing with an undisclosed injury, according to Russell Heltman of SI.com.

Impact Campbell missed the Oct. 17 exhibition against Illinois, and his status in the coming days is worth monitoring. Cincinnati has just one more exhibition against Oakland on Oct. 27 before their regular-season opener against American on Monday, Nov. 2.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Perryman - Not playing vs. Illinois Perryman will not play in Saturday's matchup against Illinois due to a calf injury, the team announced.

Impact Perryman will be forced to sit out during the team's exhibition match as he tends a calf injury. The sophomore guard will aim to be available for the team's next contest.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Akai Fleming - Out Saturday Fleming will not play in Saturday's match against Illinois due to a knee injury, the team announced.

Impact Fleming will miss the exhibition match as he tends a knee injury. He will aim to be available for the team's next matchup.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

MJ Collins Jr. - Eligible for 2026-27 season Collins is eligible for the 2026-27 season, per Scott Springer of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Impact Collins' availability for the upcoming season was uncertain due to a court ruling in September, but he is now eligible to compete for Cincinnati following a recent court decision in Ohio. The 6-foot-4 guard is coming off a 2025-26 campaign with Utah State, where he averaged a career-high 17.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists across 30.8 minutes while starting all 36 contests. He should carve out a starting role in the Bearcats' backcourt this season without the distraction of eligibility issues.
