Goes for 17 in loss James registered 17 points (6-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 76-56 loss to Iowa State.

Impact James closed out the season by chucking up 20 shots, the fourth time he's taken 20 or more in a game this season. Ironically, he's connected on exactly six of those during each of those occurrences with three of Wednesday's six makes coming from deep. The sophomore point guard ends his season having reached double-figure scoring totals in 11 of his final 12 games, averaging 17.3 points per game during the home stretch. With the Bearcats unlikely to hear their name called on Selection Sunday, James and his teammates will wait to see if they get a return invite to the NIT.

Impact James scored exactly 18 points for the third-consecutive game, adding five helpers, three boards and three steals during Saturday's loss. The sophomore point guard had a breakout performance during last season's NIT and has carried that into this season, averaging 12.8 points, 3.8 assists and 3.0 boards per game. However, he's taken that to another level over the last eight games, reaching the 15-point barrier seven times while averaging 19.5 points and 3.5 assists per contest.

Continues scoring spike James contributed 18 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 75-63 win over TCU.

Impact James matched a career high by posting 25 points while also adding a team-best six dimes during the winning effort. James had produced a season-best 24 points in his last outing but bested that performance Tuesday. The sophomore point guard had posted a zero in the scoring column during a loss to West Virginia on Feb. 2 but has rebounded over the last three games, averaging 21.3 points while shooting 66.7-percent from the field and 57.1-percent from three.

Gets back on track James notched 15 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 93-83 win over UCF.

Impact James scored 15 points despite playing just 18 minutes during Wednesday's win. James was mired in foul trouble for much of the game, contributing to his limited minutes, but still put forth a quality outing, adding three boards, four dimes and two steals while needing just seven shots to accumulate the 15-point total. The sophomore guard's performance came on the heels of a scoreless performance while missing each of his eight shots from the floor in his previous game Sunday.

Paces team with 18 James ended with 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 69-66 loss to Utah.

Impact James paced the Bearcats with 18 points Tuesday, just one point shy of a season high. The sophomore point guard has started every game this season but after averaging 12.0 points, 5.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds through the non-conference slate, had seen his production dip to 8.3 points, 2.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds through eight Big 12 conference games prior to Tuesday. However, he has now scored at least 12 points in three of his last four and will look to keep that momentum rolling when the Bearcats play West Virginia in a home tilt on Sunday.

Logs a dozen in victory James recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 21 minutes during Saturday's 67-60 win over Arizona State.

Impact It was the best scoring effort of the calendar year for James, who had put up just seven or fewer points in each of his previous four games. James did start the year hot, posting 14.6 ppg over the season's first seven games. Since then, he's cut that scoring average in half over his last 10 with just 7.3 points per contest. That's at least due in part to the return of Dan Skillings to the Cincinnati backcourt, but things won't get any easier for James with Big 12 play heating up.

Leads way with 19 points James closed Tuesday's 68-60 loss to Villanova with 19 points (8-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes.

Impact James played a season-high 33 minutes while matching a season high with 19 points. The noteworthy development continues to be that James is maintaining his starting role over Day Day Thomas, who did see a season-high 22 minutes off the bench in his fourth game back with the team. James has earned his spot, posting double-figure scoring totals in each of Cincinnati's first seven games while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor and contributing 5.6 assists (3.29 assist-to-turnover rate), 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals across 27.3 minutes per contest.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to excel as starter James racked up 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Saturday's 81-58 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact James scored 14 points despite not connecting on a three-pointer for the first time this season. He also dished out seven assists while committing only one turnover, marking the third time in five games he's posted six or more assists while turning the ball over two or fewer times. James continues to hold onto the starting spot with Day Day Thomas coming off the bench as the latter ramps back up following missing the first three games this season due to a foot injury. However, even when Thomas is back up to full strength, it's tough to see how he can surpass James in the starting lineup. James has been fantastic this season, posting 14.0 points (53.4 percent), 5.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 27.2 minutes and perhaps most importantly has turned the ball over just 1.8 times per game, giving him an assist:turnover ratio of better than 3:1.

Seizing opportunity James contributed 19 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 86-49 victory over Nicholls.

Impact James continues to take advantage of his starting opportunity, posting a season-high 19 points with six boards, four assists while chipping in a block and a steal. The sophomore point guard has started all three games thus far while Day Day Thomas continues to deal with a foot injury. If we include the last two games of last year's NIT, James has started five games in his career, averaging 18.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 31.4 minutes during those five contests.
