Series History
The Sycamores have not been successful against the Bearcats, as Cincinnati boasts an 11-1 record over ISU. Although, the two teams have not met since the 1986-87 season, where Cincinnati beat ISU 70-60 in Terre Haute.

Last Time Out - Indiana State
Indiana State men's basketball reaches the 30-win mark with a 76-64 victory over Big Ten's Minnesota in the second round of the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). This season's 30 wins is only the second time in program history ISU has reached 30 wins. Ryan Conwell paced the Sycamore offense with 23 points, tying his career-high with six three-pointers. Conwell shot 7-for-11 from the floor and added five assists to his stat line, all with zero turnovers. Jayson Kent and Julian Larry each scored 16 points. Kent recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Larry scored 16 converting on 7-of-9 field goal attempts. Robbie Avila finished with 11 points to round out four Sycamores in double figures, adding a game-high seven assists. Isaiah Swope scored eight points and four rebounds, while Xavier Bledson chipped in two points and two rebounds.

Last Time Out - Cincinnati
The Cincinnati men's basketball team rolled to a 74-57 victory over Bradley on Saturday in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament at Fifth Third Arena. Making his first career start, freshman guard Jizzle James led all scorers, posting a career-high 25 points that marked the most by a Cincinnati freshman since Jarron Cumberland in 2017 versus South Florida.  He scored 14 and went 6-of-7 from the floor in the first half alone. James added 11 points down the stretch of the second and shot 11-of-15 from the floor for the game.

John Newman III surpassed the 1,000-point milestone for his career with a free-throw late in the first half. A louder-than-normal cheer for the shot coincided with his point to the sky and crowd, in addition to congratulations from his teammates already in the game.

Dan Skillings Jr. erupted in the second half, scoring 17 of his 20 points which kept the Braves at bay.
 
Simas Lukosius scored 17 points on the heels of his heroic 28-point performance and game-winning trey on Wednesday night.
