What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas — even if you have a previous and future history in Cincinnati and Orlando.That’s the reality for Cincinnati and Central Florida as the Big 12 rivals prepare to meet Thursday in a College Basketball Crown quarterfinals in Las Vegas.”We’re not coaching based on messaging for the future,” Bearcats coach Wes Miller said. “We’re trying to win the tournament. We all agreed we’re going to come out here and try to win. When you make decisions as a coach, they may not be the right decisions, but we’re trying to make the right decision to win.”Miller’s strategic statement might suggest revisiting the Bearcats’ 93-83 conference road victory against the Knights on Feb. 5.Considering the transfer portal’s impact on UCF (18-16) and Cincinnati (19-15) since the end of the regular season, however, many elements of that equation have fallen out.Knights guard Keyshawn Hall, the Big 12’s leading scorer at 18.8 points per game, has entered the portal, for one. UCF coach Johnny Dawkins used just eight players in Tuesday’s 76-75 tournament-opening victory against Oregon State.Moustapha Thiam’s late free throw and block sealed the game for UCF. Tyler Hendricks posted a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds and was among four UCF players in double figures. Thiam added 10 points and fell one rebound shy of a double-double.
