Shaq Thomas Has A New Jersey Number, So Too For The New Bearcats

In the final month before the Bearcats kick off (or is it tip off?) their 2015-16 basketball season, one of the last things to do is peruse the updated roster and check for any changes, no matter how small. You know, because we’re.. like.. obsessed with this whole UC thing.

The most notable change to the updated roster is that Shaq Thomas has switched numbers. He’ll no longer be wearing #3 and instead will done #24 this season. I’m not sure about why he made the move, and I hope this is the first thing someone in the media asks Mick Cronin the next chance they get, but it’s rather perplexing for a senior who’s worn the same number for the last three years.
