Viktor Lakhin - Doesn't play Tuesday Lahkin (ankle) didn't play in Tuesday's 90-85 win over West Virginia.
Impact This was Lahkin's third straight absence despite the fact he was dressed for the game, and even though he might not be ready to play, he seems to be trending in the right direction. It remains to be seen if he'll able to face Kansas on Wednesday.

Simas Lukosius - Seven threes lead to career-high 31 Lukosius supplied 31 points (8-13 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 90-85 victory over West Virginia.
Impact Lukosius scored 26 of his game-high 31 points in the second half, including 23 points in the final 12 minutes to help lead the Bearcats back from a 16-point second-half deficit and continue their season for at least one more game. The point total represents a new career-high for the junior forward and included seven made three-pointers, which is also a career-best mark. Lukosius will look to maintain the momentum in Wednesday's second-round matchup against Kansas.

CJ Fredrick - Expected to be out again Fredrick (hamstring) is expected to be out for Cincinnati's game Tuesday against West Virginia, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Currently, Fredrick is expected to log his sixth consecutive DNP on Tuesday. Assuming his absence goes through, his collegiate career is finished if Cincinnati suffers a season-ending loss Tuesday. But should the Bearcats defeat West Virginia, they compete against Kansas on Wednesday.
MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE
Viktor Lakhin - Expected to be out Tuesday Lakhin (ankle) is expected to be out for Cincinnati's game Tuesday against West Virginia, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Lakhin expected to be out Tuesday likely pushes Dan Skillings or Ody Oguama into Cincinnati's starting lineup against West Virginia. Assuming the Lakhin absence goes through, he will have to hope Cincinnati defeats WVU and moves on to face Kansas on Wednesday. Otherwise, his 2023-24 season ends prematurely without him having participated in a tournament game.
