CBS Sports college basketball aficionado Jon Rothstein is reporting that according to his sources, the 84th Crosstown Shootout will take place on Sunday, January 26, 2017. We’ve been waiting for a formal announcement about a non-conference schedule from UC, and as of yet, it hasn’t come. If you are a season ticket holder like I am, hopefully you consulted our handy guide on what we know about the 2016-17 basketball schedule before you renewed your tickets. Now, you can put the biggest game of the year on the calendar. The Bengals won’t still be playing by that point, so you shouldn’t have anything better to do.
