Tyler McKinley - Upgraded to probable McKinley (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against BYU.

Impact According to Keegan Nickoson of 247Sports, McKinley is recovering from a recently tweaked knee.

Thus, his fantasy upside should remain minimal.

FEBRUARY 28 • Associated Press

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.

Impact Thiam continues to surge for the Bearcats, crashing the glass for a season-high 15 rebounds while topping the 20-point barrier for the third consecutive game. 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.

Thiam and Cincinnati host Oklahoma State

Cincinnati hosts the Oklahoma State Cowboys after Moustapha Thiam scored 21 points in Cincinnati's 80-68 loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders

FEBRUARY 27 • Associated Press

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.

Moustapha Thiam - Late-season surge Thiam accumulated 21 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 loss to Texas Tech.

Impact Thiam continued his late-season surge, posting his fourth double double of the season and second in three games. The sophomore big man is beginning to take on a larger scoring role for the Bearcats in recent games, attempting 13 or more shots six times in his last eight games played after having taken 10 or more shots in just five previous contests. That increased shot total has led to Thiam nearly doubling his scoring output over the past four games, averaging 19.8 points during that stretch after having produced 10.8 points in 22 games prior.
