ST. THOMAS, U.S. Virgin Islands – Jarron Cumberland is back in action.
The Cincinnati basketball star senior and reigning AAC Player of the Year returned to the starting lineup Friday against Illinois State in the Bearcats' opening game at Paradise Jam.
"I thought Jarron had a really good week of practice this week," said Bearcats' coach John Brannen.
Cumberland did not play in Cincinnati's 85-53 win last week against Alabama A&M for what Brannen called a coach's decision. Brannen did not elaborate on the nature of the decision.
