Cincinnati Bearcats freshman point guard Jizzle James continues to showcase elite potential in the early stages of his impressive first season!

During a recent win over Bryant, James put up 11 points and three assists to help the Bearcats remain undefeated at home so far this season.

James is a week removed from a career-best performance at Xavier, finishing with 19 points and one block off the bench in the narrow loss.

The Orlando product should continue to make a major impact and is expected to earn significant minutes against the Dayton Flyers on Saturday.
