No. 4 Houston clinches Big 12 regular-season title with 73-64 win over Cincinnati

MARCH 2, 2025 • Associated Press

Efficient offensive performance Thomas finished with 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 73-64 loss to Houston.

Impact Thomas led the way for the Bearcats with 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting from the floor despite spending more than half the game on the bench due to foul trouble. Thomas finished one-point shy of a season high while shooting at least 60-percent from the floor on five or more shots for the third time. It was the ninth-consecutive start for the senior guard and the eighth time in those nine appearances he's scored in double-figures, averaging 13.3 points, 3.4 assists, 2.7 boards and 1.6 steals during that stretch of games.

Added to starting lineup Thomas is part of the Bearcats' starting lineup for their game Sunday against West Virginia.

Impact During late-January, Cincinnati's team logged three games and losses. For each matchup, UC's starting lineup included Dan Skillings. Between the games' first and last, he recorded a 27.3 field goal percentage and zero three-pointers made. Instead of Skillings, the Bearcats will give Thomas a go.

Active vs. Georgia Tech Thomas (foot) recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one block across 13 minutes during Tuesday's 76-60 victory over Northern Kentucky.

Impact Thomas was deemed game-time call prior to the game as he dealt with a foot injury. The senior guard was able to record two points on 13 minutes off the bench and will hope to earn more minutes for Wednesday's game against Alabama State.

True GTD Tuesday Thomas (foot) will go through warm-ups and then make a decision about his availability, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Thomas has yet to play this season, but he appears to be getting closer. Whether or not he's able to suit up on Tuesday, the guard's return should be imminent. Jizzle James, who's played well in his stead, should get the start at point guard once again if Thomas can't go.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Nicholls State Thomas (foot) is expected to remain out against Nicholls State, Jack Ritche of Bearcast Media reports.

Impact Thomas has yet to play this season, and that doesn't appear as if it'll change against Nicholls State. The point guard should re-assume a starting role when he's healthy enough to return to the court, but that won't be until at least Nov. 19 against Northern Kentucky.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Friday Thomas (foot) has been termed a game-time decision ahead of Friday's matchup against Nicholls State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Thomas, who was recently medically cleared by the team following a long recovery from a broken foot with a few setbacks, is a game-time decision for the Bearcats on Friday. The 6-foot-1 senior started in 35 games with Cincinatti last season, averaging 10.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals on 26.6 minutes per game. If Thomas is ultimately unable to suit up Friday, his next opportunity to return will come against Northern Kentucky on Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Medically cleared, practicing Thomas (foot) has been medically cleared and practiced with the Bearcats on Monday, Neil Meyer of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Thomas' status still remains in question for Cincinnati's next game against Nichols State on Friday, as head coach Wes Miller told reporters "we're going to be incredibly conservative and slow" in regards to working the star point guard back. "I won't give an exact answer on his status until Friday shoot around," the head coach continued. Thomas, therefore, will remain a game-time call.

Out vs. Morehead State Thomas (foot) won't play against Morehead State on Friday night, Neil Meyer of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Thomas missed the Bearcats' opener, and will now miss his second straight contest to start the 2024-2025 season. Cincinnati's top point guard averaged 10.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists last season. This should mean Jizzle James is in line to get the start once again.

NOVEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting opener Thomas (foot) is not starting Monday's game versus Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the team announced.

Impact It appears Thomas will miss the season opener as he continues to work through a foot injury. He was not dressed in pregame warmups and his absence from the starting five is enough evidence to say he will miss the game. Jizzle James will start in his place. Thomas' next chance to suit up is Friday versus Morehead State.

Status uncertain Thomas (foot) has been spotted in sweats ahead of Monday's season opener against UAPB, Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com reports.

Impact Thomas appears questionable to suit up for the Bearcats despite previous reports declaring him active for tonight's season opener. The 6-foot-1 senior started in all 35 games with Cincinatti last season, averaging 10.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals on 26.6 minutes per game. Thomas's injury does not appear to be serious, but his status for tonight's season opener is in question.

NOVEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Available for UAPB game Thomas (foot) will be available for Cincinnati's game Monday against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Cincinnati's 2024-25 season can begin with Thomas available. Transferring from Kilgore Community College to a Power Conference team did not faze the senior, who averaged 10.3 points, 3.3 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.7 steals during his junior year. Efficiency will be the key to more success for Thomas, who could also see an uptick in output now that he is more than one year into being enrolled at Cincinnati.

Wes Miller Updates Day Day Thomas's Status After Aggravating Foot Injury Cincinnati is brewing big expectations for the 2024-25 season.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • SI.COM

Suffers foot setback Cincinnati's head coach Wes Miller announced during Big 12 Media Day that Thomas suffered a minor setback for his foot, according to Keegan Nickoson of 247Sports.

Impact Thomas suffered a broken foot during the 2024 National Invitation Tournament. After the senior was cleared by July, Miller confirmed the same foot suffered a seemingly minor setback that prevented his injured player from participating in Media Day on Wednesday. Currently, Cincinnati's team has no more exhibition games scheduled, meaning the Bearcats' next matchup is against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Nov. 4, the date of their season opener.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be fully cleared soon Thomas (foot) is expected to be cleared by mid-June, per Neil Meyer of The Front Office News.

Impact Thomas' latest update indicates he will have more than enough time to acclimate this summer and recover before the Bearcats begin their 2024-25 season. The junior's return likely pushes Jizzle James away from their starting position at point guard.

Pristine at the point Thomas finished Saturday's 92-56 victory over West Virginia with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 32 minutes.

Impact Thomas converted on just one of five three-pointers and was not needed to provide much by way of scoring but contributed a healthy dose of ancillary production, matching season-highs with seven assists and six rebounds while setting a career-best mark with five steals. Just as importantly for the Bearcats, he also had a clean game handling the rock with zero turnovers on the day. Thomas has provided solid play to close the Big 12 regular season, averaging 29.6 minutes, 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 steals over his last seven contests.
