Day Day Thomas - Scoring starting to pick up Thomas racked up 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Sunday's 69-65 win over Utah.

Impact Thomas' 16 points led the way for the Bearcats and were the most he's scored since tallying 19 against Iowa State on Jan 17. In the seven games since that performance, Thomas had been averaging just 6.6 points per contest, though Saturday's performance represented his third-straight reaching double figures. Despite his decreased production on the scoreboard, Thomas does continue to help in other areas, averaging 3.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals to go along with 9.3 points across 13 games since the start of conference play.

Don McHenry - Leads Utes with 18 McHenry racked up 18 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 69-65 loss to Cincinnati.

Impact McHenry led the way for the Utes, tallying 18 points despite shooting just 37.5-percent on 16 shots from the floor. The inefficient outing actually represented a rebound of sorts for McHenry, who scored just five points his last time out against Houston and had shot just 5-for-23 (21.7-percent) across his previous two games. Through 12 games since the start of conference play, McHenry is averaging 16.3 points while shooting 39.7-percent from the floor and 35.8-percent from deep.

Keanu Dawes - Records eighth double double Dawes registered 16 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 69-65 loss to Cincinnati.

Impact Dawes controlled the glass, finishing just one board shy of a season high, though while he also scored 16, his efficiency was lacking as he needed a season-high 14 shots to reach that mark. Despite the struggles from the field, it was the eighth double double of the season and fourth in conference play for the 6-foot-9 junior. Through 12 conference games, Dawes is averaging 13.4 points and 9.3 rebounds across 32.8 minutes per contest.

Kerr Kriisa - Out vs. Utah Kriisa (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against Utah, according to Neil Meyer of The Front Office News.

Impact A shoulder injury explains why Kriisa will be out another game. The senior has struggled in conference action this season, averaging 1.8 points while shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from behind the three-point arc. Unfortunately for Kriisa, his shoulder injury comes at a time when Cincinnati's team will host the Big 12 Conference's last-place team going into Sunday.

Moustapha Thiam - Available vs. Utah Thiam (undisclosed) is available for Sunday's game against Utah.

Impact Once again, Thiam is no longer part of Cincinnati's availability report, indicating that he will be available against Utah. In the 2025-26 Bearcats' conference games, he has averaged 11.2 points. The center stepped up upon returning from his previous absence by logging 15 points and seven rebounds during last Sunday's game between Cincinnati and Central Florida. Thiam will look to do so again against the Big 12 Conference's last-place team in Utah.
