Xavier and Cincinnati meet in Crosstown Shootout

It goes without saying that 2020 has been absolutely awful for so many reasons. To make things worse, so many traditional annual events have gotten canceled for the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

One event that remained on the schedule though is Sunday’s Crosstown Shootout between the Xavier Musketeers and Cincinnati Bearcats, one of college basketball’s most contentious rivalries year in and year out.

The Musketeers bring a 5-0 record into this game, and their most recent performance, a 79-48 win over Tennessee Tech, was an great effort from a Xavier team who looked sluggish in their previous three victories.
