Though Cincinnati finished 11th in the Big 12 this past season, they could be a surprise team in 2024-25. Most of last year's team's key pieces are set to return to a team that was sneaky tough to play against.
The Bearcats might have two key additions in four-star transfers Connor Hickman (a shooting guard) and Arrinten Page (a center). Add that to what they bring back and it is easy to see how Cincy improves this coming season.
In addition, the program is set to welcome two four-star high school forwards to the mix. So don't be shocked to see the Bearcats in the NCAA Tournament next season.
