ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands – Initially it appeared Cincinnati basketball would be without its best shooter Sunday against Bowling Green.

Possibly longer.

That was feared after the senior guard suffered a knee injury here Friday in the first half against Illinois State. But Cumberland checked in during the first half Sunday after going through shootaround earlier in the day and feeling good following warmups.

He made his first shots, both 3-pointers from the left wing

“It wasn’t as bad as we thought initially," said Bearcats' coach John Brannen on the pre-game radio show.
