Summary

- Cincinnati's offense has shown improvement in recent weeks.

Cincinnati Bearcats guard Kerr Kriisa is expected to return to the court on Wednesday after a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Kriisa, a significant contributor averaging 7.8 points and 3.8 assists per game, is listed as probable for the upcoming matchup.
The Bearcats' offense has demonstrated notable improvements in efficiency and rim penetration over the last two weeks. Coach Wes Miller highlighted the team's focus on developing "rim pressure" and effective transition play fueled by defensive stops.
This nearly full-strength Bearcats squad will face their toughest test against the nation's No. 1 team, Arizona, in Tucson. Despite Jalen Haynes remaining sidelined with a knee injury, Kriisa's presence is anticipated to fully restore the team's guard depth as they aim for a significant win.
