CINCINNATI — The Bearcats basketball team has one game during this holiday week. Dan Skillings Jr. won't be back on the floor against Alabama State on Wednesday night, but he is making progress.

Wes Miller gave the latest update on his knee injury recovery during his Tuesday press conference.

"Dan shot for the first time, I mean, he's been doing shooting on the floor and things of that nature, but he had his first shooting workout Sunday, followed it up with another one yesterday," Miller said. "I got video from our trainer a couple hours ago, with him running on a zero-gravity treadmill ... He was on the floor this morning working out with our assistant coaches. So, yeah, he's progressing on the floor which has been good."

Cincinnati hasn't needed him...yet. They've dominated one of the nation's easiest non-conference schedules so far, but December and beyond is a lot tougher and will require all of UC's elite depth to reach their ceiling.
