Likely out for season Coach Wes Miller confirmed that Phinisee suffered a torn patella tendon, Chad Brendel of BearcatJournal.com reports.

Impact Phinisee missed nearly two months with a foot injury before returning to action in late January, but it now appears his season has come to a premature end. The fifth-year senior has played in just 12 games this season and averaged 1.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 16.4 minutes.

Impact Phinisee made the most of his minutes in Saturday's win. The win marked his third game back after missing about two months with a foot injury.

His three-steals tied a season high, providing help on both ends of the floor.

Held scoreless again Phinisee ended Wednesday's 64-51 loss to Northern Kentucky with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes.

Impact Phinisee has now been held scoreless in three straight games. Though he is not much of a scoring threat, the Bearcats guard is averaging less than 1.0 points per game to start the season, a career low. To make up for his lack of scoring, Phinisee has facilitated the ball well, averaging 3.3 assists per game. Phinisee will likely continue to play a smaller role in the offense, though it can be assumed that his scoring drought will not last for long.
