Bearcats veteran forward Simas Lukosius has revealed that he will come back for his senior campaign during the upcoming 2025 season!

Cincinnati was on the edge of having the season come to a disappointing ending before Lukosius connected on a clutch 3-pointer to stay alive.

It appeared the Bearcats were going to be taken out in the NIT opening round but Lukosius saved the day with an unforgettable postseason shot.

Lukosius finished with a team-high 28 points on 8/10 shooting from beyond the arc, highlighted by a buzzer-beating triple in the final seconds!
