Wes Miller: Cincinnati is an NCAA Tournament team despite a Big 12 OT loss to UCF

UCF rallies past Cincinnati 66-65 in OT to reach the Big 12 Tournament quarterfinals

Jamichael Stillwell had 17 points and 15 rebounds, Riley Kugel added 15 points and eighth-seeded UCF beat No. 9 seed Cincinnati 66-65 in overtime in the Big 12 Tournament

MARCH 11 • Associated Press

Moustapha Thiam - Dominates paint vs former team Thiam accumulated 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 16 rebounds, five blocks and one steal over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 66-65 OT loss to UCF.

Impact Thiam did everything he could to lead the Bearcats to a much-needed win, dominating the paint against his former school with season highs in rebounds and redirected shots. The sophomore big man also went a season-best 3-for-4 from beyond the arc as he collected his fifth double double in the last eight games. Despite the performance, the Bearcats fell and in all likelihood will just miss out on the NCAA tournament, meaning Thiam's next game will likely come in either the NIT or the College Basketball Crown.

No. 9 seed Cincinnati beats Utah 73-66 to reach the second round of the Big 12 Tournament

Jalen Celestine scored 19 points to lead ninth-seeded Cincinnati to a 73-66 victory over No. 16 seed Utah in the first round of the Big 12 Tournament

MARCH 10 • Associated Press

Jalen Celestine - Leads Bearcats with 19 points Celestine racked up 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 73-66 victory over Utah.

Impact Celestine put together a season-best scoring effort during the Bearcats' first-round win in the Big 12 tournament, matching a season high with five triples on just eight attempts en route to 19 points. After coming off the bench in 18 of his first 19 games played, Celestine has found himself in the starting lineup for the last 12 and has thrived, reaching double figures eight times with averages of 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals while shooting 50.0-percent from the floor and 46.1-percent from beyond the arc during that stretch.

Moustapha Thiam - Fourth double double in last seven Thiam ended Tuesday's 73-66 win over Utah with 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 33 minutes.

Impact Thiam reached double figures in both the scoring and rebounding columns for the fourth time in seven games and the sixth time this season as the Bearcats took down the Utes to advance to the second round of the Big 12 conference tournament. Thiam was coming off a relatively down performance of eight points and five boards in his last outing but has otherwise been playing his best basketball of the season in recent weeks. Over the last seven games, Thiam is averaging 18.0 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.4 blocks across 30.3 minutes per contest.

Baba Miller - Records 13th double double Miller racked up 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and one block over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 73-66 win over Utah.

Impact Miller recorded his 13th double double while adding a team-high six assists during Cincinnati's first round win in the Big 12 tournament. It was the sixth time this season he's handed out at least five dimes while also reaching double figures in scoring and rebounding. His effort helped the Bearcats keep alive their faint hopes at making the NCAA tournament, though it will take at least one and likely two more wins to have a real shot at crashing the dance.

MARCH 6 • SI.COM

Shon Abaev - Set to return Saturday Abaev (lower body) is available for Saturday's game against TCU.

Impact Abaev is set to return after a one-game absence. That said, the freshman has suited up in just one of the team's last 10 games, tallying two points, two rebounds and two assists across 13 minutes in a win over Oklahoma State on Feb. 28. He should add depth off the bench for the Bearcats but not much else.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler McKinley - Available to play Saturday McKinley (knee) is available for Saturday's game against TCU.

Impact McKinley is set to return for the Bearcats after missing the last two games. That said, he has started in just three of his 23 appearances and has averaged just 1.8 points and 2.3 rebounds per game, so he's not likely to have a big impact even if available.
