CINCINNATI — The Bearcats have another absence to deal with on top of Day Day Thomas's pending return from a foot ailment. Dan Skillings Jr. was not suited up for Thursday's practice and didn't participate in warm ups ahead of Friday's matchup against Morehead State.

The Enquirer's Scott springer first reported the news.

It's shaping up to be a rare missed game for Skillings, who has been unavailable in just one outing in each of his first two seasons.

He posted 17 points and 11 rebounds on 54.5% shooting on Monday night.

Thomas was also not suited up ahead of the game as he gets another full week to recover before Cincinnati plays Nicholls on Nov. 15.
