Moustapha Thiam - Dominates in team debut Thiam supplied 18 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 94-63 win over Western Carolina. Impact Thiam matched fellow newcomers Baba Miller and Shon Abaev with a team-high 18 points as the Bearcats cruised to an opening-night victory. Thiam joins Cincinnati with plenty of Big 12 experience after having averaged 10.4 points, 6.4 boards and 2.6 blocks as a true freshman last season for UCF. The 7-foot-2 center is expected to be one of the top big men in the country this season and teams with Baba Miller to form one of the most formidable front courts in the Big 12.
