Moustapha Thiam - Nearing return Thiam (foot) has a chance to return for Sunday's game against Central Florida, Neil Meyer of The Front Office News reports.

Impact Thiam went through pregame shootaround ahead of Thursday's game against West Virginia before ultimately sitting out for the contest. The 7-foot-2 sophomore starter will have his next opportunity to return Sunday against UCF and head coach Wes Miller feels confident that Thiam has a chance to suit up for the Bearcats.

Abraham Oyeadier - Ruled OFS Oyeadier (undisclosed) is out for the reminder of the 2025-26 season, per Blue Gold News.

Impact Oyeadier played on Nov. 9 against Lehigh, and that was the extent of the freshman center's participation this season. He'll likely seek a medical redshirt for the 2025-26 campaign and have four years of eligibility available moving forward.

Jalen Celestine - Thriving in increased role Celestine contributed eight points (3-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 59-54 loss to West Virginia.

Impact Celestine started his third-straight game, playing a season-high 34 minutes and chipping in with 10 boards and six assists--each total representing a career-best mark. The 6-foot-7 senior struggled to the tune of a 3-for-12 shooting performance but managed to leave a big imprint on the game, though the Bearcats ultimately fell to the Mountaineers. Celestine had averaged 18.9 minutes of floor time in his first 19 appearances but in the three games since entering the starting lineup has seen a significant bump, averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists across 31.0 minutes per contest.

Honor Huff - Rebounds with strong performance Huff chipped in 16 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 59-54 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Huff scored 16 and dished out a season-best six assists to lead West Virginia to the road victory. The senior guard was coming off a season-worst five point performance in which he shot just 1-for-13 but rebounded nicely with his third straight game with at least four dimes and his fourth game with more than 15 points against Big 12 competition. Huff is averaging 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists through 10 conference games, though he's shooting just 32.2-percent from the floor during that stretch.
