CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are back on a losing streak after a 62-59 loss to West Virginia put another massive roadblock in front of their 2025 NCAA Tournament hopes. Neil Meyer and I recap that, update Connor Hickman's health, and preview the TCU game on the latest Bearcat Blitz:

Utah takes on the No. 18 West Virginia Mountaineers after Gianna Kneepkens scored 25 points in the Utes' 92-65 victory over the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Bearcat Journal's Keegan Knickoson reported that Lukošius is out with a shoulder injury he suffered in the 81-70 loss to Iowa State on Saturday. The Lithuanian is one of Cincinnati's best shooters and will likely get replaced by Josh Reed or Dan Skillings Jr. in the lineup.

The Mountaineers trailed by six with inside 8 minutes remaining, before leading by nine with inside 10 seconds to play. The Bearcats' Tyler Betsey missed a three-point attempt to tie just before time expired.

Trying to recover from their most uneven loss of the season, the Cincinnati Bearcats basketball team is headed to Morgantown for a rematch with West Virginia Wednesday night. Both teams were on the road Saturday, with UC taking on No. 10 Iowa State.
