Lakhin a DNP vs. Bradley
Viktor Lakhin (undisclosed) did not take the court in Saturday’s 74-57 victory over Bradley. Lakhin has been battling an ankle injury for much of the past month, but he was able to see brief action in Cincinnati’s Big 12 tournament exit to Kansas, as well as the opening round of the NIT against San Francisco. He was held out Saturday entirely, however, with Aziz Bandaogo and Jamille Reynolds getting the reps at center. It will be tough to rely on the former starter for much when Cincinnati continues its NIT run Tuesday against Indiana State.
Avila sets New Season High
Robbie Avila totaled 35 points (14-24 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday’s 85-67 win over Evansville. Avila is finding his form at the perfect time for the Sycamores and is now averaging 25.5 ppg over the last four games for a tournament-hopeful Indiana State squad.
