Watch: Wes Miller Updates John Newman's Status, Discusses Final Week Of Regular Season

Cincinnati can win it's 20th game in a season on Sunday for the first time since 2019-20.

CINCINNATI — UC men's basketball head coach Wes Miller met with the media on Tuesday as Cincinnati has one game left on the regular-season schedule.

Miller discussed the turnover problem at Memphis, how the team will handle this one-game week, and updated John Newman III's status.

The guard is not playing again this season as the team pursues a medical redshirt from the NCAA, allowing Newman to play for UC in 2023-24.

Wes Miller told the media today that the team wants to have John Newman III back next season and the guard wants to return.

Now it's up to the NCAA to grant him a medical redshirt after the guard appeared in one game for 12 minutes.#Bearcats

Miller also said Kalu Ezikpe, David DeJulius, and Rob Phinisee would be the only players walking on Senior Day this Sunday. Miller noted he wants to bring back all other players on the roster with eligibility.

The head coach said all of those conversations with each potential returnee are happening after the season.
