Impact Williams played four seasons for Cincinnati and was coming off his best scoring year to date, averaging 14.3 ppg for the Bearcats across 23 games (22 starts). He was a late entry to the transfer portal and settled on Western Kentucky in late-August, which likely explains why he wasn't covered under the NCAA's recent blanket rule allowing immediate eligibility for first-time transfers. The NCAA has been pretty liberal with respect to handing out waivers, but in this case, it's unclear if one will arrive prior to the Nov. 9 opener against Alabama State.

Returning to form Williams had 24 points (9-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 70-69 victory over Tulsa.

Impact The Bearcats sit in the middle of the pack in the American conference and will need an epic run to be tournament eligible, but Williams is the type of player that can make that a reality. He had been in a bit of a funk, however, averaging 9.0 ppg on 34.6 percent shooting over his last three games. Wednesday's contest allowed him to snap out of that with his highest scoring total since Nov. 9. As he goes, so does Cincinnati.
