Day Day Thomas - Drains seven from deep Thomas totaled 26 points (7-12 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 91-68 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Thomas caught serious fire from long range, connecting on a season-best 7-of-11 from deep in recording a new season-high with 26 points. The seven triples were four clear of his previous high mark across 16 games since the start of conference play and it was just the second time during that same timeframe that he's shot better than 50-percent from beyond the arc. Following a nine-game spell in which he failed to reach double figures eight times, Thomas has now scored at least 10 in five of his last six, averaging 13.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 40.5-percent from deep.

The sophomore big man has three double doubles across his last four games and now has five for the season. During his five most recent performances, Thiam is averaging 20.6 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks across 30.0 minutes with the Bearcats holding a 4-1 record in those games.

Shon Abaev - Close to a return Abaev (ankle) is nearing a return to the court, Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com reports.

Impact Abaev has missed eight straight games with an ankle injury, but that streak is set to come to an end soon according to head coach Wes Miller. Miller said Abaev practiced well on Thursday and could potentially return to the court Saturday versus Oklahoma State if he's able to put together another practice on Friday without any problems. He started the first 12 games of the season before being relegated to the bench and having his minutes slashed, so it's unclear what exactly his role will be when he returns to the court.
