CINCINNATI — The Bearcats basketball team is banged up again, coming back from their winless two-game road trip in Arizona. Wing Shon Abaev is doubtful to play with a knee injury, while they still don't have forward Jalen Haynes (knee), and Kerr Kriisa is back on the injury report ahead of tonight's game against Baylor.

The Wednesday night whacking gives the Bearcats two straight wins over the Bears and spoiled the homecoming of former UC player Dan Skillings Jr. UC won last year’s meeting in late February 69-67 at Fifth Third Arena with Skillings. The 6-foot-6 wing was then the first in the portal after last season and wound up in Waco by mid-April 2025.
