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.

Cincinnati Hands No. 8 Kansas 1st Home Loss to Unranked Team This Season

Pours in career-high 28 points Thiam finished Saturday's 84-68 win over Kansas with 28 points (11-17 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes.

Impact Thiam went off for a career-high 28 points as the Bearcats rolled to their seventh and most impressive conference win by taking down the Jayhawks in Lawrence. The 7-foot-2 sophomore, who also added eight boards, showed off more than an ability to dominate the paint as he connected on a season-best two triples while also hoisting up a season-high five shots from beyond the arc. Thiam had played limited minutes against Houston on Jan 31, then went on to miss two of three for undisclosed reasons, but otherwise is playing his best basketball of the season. In the last three games in which he has played, Thiam is averaging 19.3 points, 8.3 boards and 1.7 blocks.
