Mason Madsen Entering Transfer Portal

The guard led all Bearcats in three-point percentage.

CINCINNATI — The transfer portal is officially wide open in college basketball and at least one Bearcat is testing those waters. Sophomore guard Mason Madsen announced he is exploring other school options on Wednesday.

When one door closes, another opens. I truly want to thank the people of Cincinnati for embracing me the way that they did. It just wasn’t in the cards. There is no doubt in my mind that Coach Miller is the right guy for the job. Thankful for the friendships I’ll have forever. pic.twitter.com/OpBlVieTRv

Madsen's playing time reduced from 19.6 minutes per game in 2020 to 11.6 MPG this season. He averaged 3.9 points and 1.3 rebounds, with every one of his stats dropping besides his career-high 36.3% three-point mark.

Cincinnati will need to prioritize shooting talent on its foray into the portal. They ranked 285th nationally in outside shooting percentage (31.5%) this season, and Madsen led all Bearcats in three-point percentage.
