DeJulius was a Third-Team honoree last year and recently became UC’s 35th 1,000-point scorer to hit the milestone within three years. His minutes (32.4), field-goal percentage (44.1), three-point percentage (37.8), free-throw percentage (84.1), assists (163, an increase of 77 from last year) and scoring (15.1 ppg) all follow increased trends over his three years with the program.
DeJulius (1,121 points as a Bearcat) currently leads the nation with 16 consecutive games of five or more assists, boasting the best overall UC average (5.3 per contest) since consensus First-Team All-American Steve Logan in 2002. He has four contests in conference play with nine or more assists, including 12 against ECU for Cincinnati’s first assists double-double since Troy Caupain in 2016. The Detroit product scored a career-high 30 points in his Senior Day over SMU, joining Nolley as the first UC teammates with 30-point outings in the same season since Deonta Vaughn and Marvin Gentry in 2006-07.
No. 4-seed Cincinnati opens AAC Tournament play Friday in Fort Worth against No. 5-seed Temple at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
