The Crosstown Shootout

[kramer1]

Xavier is VERY good (puke). 2-3 NBA guys on that team IMO. They play like an NBA team.

Cincinnati has the advantage down low. Cincinnati must force Xavier into bad situations with their D to have any kind of chance (because we can't hit water if we fell out of a boat).

With the game being played at Xavier I see little chance UC coming away with a win.

Oh, game is Saturday at 5:30 eastern

Xavier has looked great this year. Cincy is going to have to play unreal to win. Xavier 76 Cincinnati 61

X is definitely one of the surprise teams of the season. I knew they'd be solid again and a tourney team but this is way more than I thought.

Cincy already lost at home to Butler not that it means a whole lot. But X is similar and better than Butler right now

UC has to get back to doing what it does best: Defense. The offense has been nice this year, but they've not been nearly as good as they could be on defense. They look like they lack a lot of focus right now on that end. Too concerned with scoring.

If UC can get back to being a down and dirty team, loose balls, rebounds, etc...and guard...the lower the scoring game the better it is for them to win.

However, XU, I think, is just too good. (Ugh).

Interesting that this will be the first Cincy/Xavier game played @ Xavier since the brawl in 2011.

should also change the name of this series to the Crosstown THROWDOWN, imo
