CINCINNATI — The transfer portal interest continues from Cincinnati basketball ahead of their trip to Las Vegas next week for the College Basketball Crown. We start this Pinging The Portal with interest in Montana guard Malik Moore. On3's Jamie Shaw reported the contact with the 6-5, 190-pound junior sniper.

Moore has one year of eligibility left after posting 12.6 points per game and 3.2 rebounds on 45.6% shooting (40.9% from outside on five attempts per game) this past season.

He played last year at Montana after spending his first two years at Pepperdine. Moore has heard from other schools like Maryland and Boise State.

Cincinnati reached out to the veteran Moore and a young player in Baylor freshman forward Jason Asemota. League Ready's Sam Kayser reported news about the 6-8, 200-pound freshman.

Asemota did not start any game across 24 appearances, tallying 1.6 points per game and 1.5 rebounds this past season. He was 247Sports's 73rd-best player in the 2024 recruiting class.

Louisville, Providence, Texas, Boston College, and more are also interested.
