Dan Skillings Jr. scores 25, Cincinnati beats short-handed No. 16 Kansas 72-52 in Big 12 Tournament

Associated Press  

— Cincinnati coach Wes Miller admitted he was up late preparing to face No. 16 Kansas in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament, and a big reason why was he didn’t know how the Jayhawks would play without Hunter Dickinson and Kevin McCullar Jr. Coach Bill Self expects both to practice Monday ahead of the NCAA Tournament, but that didn’t help the 12-time Big 12 Tournament champions when they stepped on the floor against the Bearcats. “Obviously we were bad offensively and didn’t make shots — didn’t make any shots,” Self said, “and today was a night that things had to go a lot better for us shooting the basketball to have a chance.” The fact that the Jayhawks were close at all in the second half was noteworthy. “I thought our guys looked around and said, ‘We’re going to go do it,’ and we got aggressive again, and then we had some good things happen.” SILVER LINING Self was back on the sideline after missing last year’s Big 12 tourney when he was hospitalized with a heart issue.
