The University of Cincinnati men's basketball team lost the Crosstown Shootout, again.
Saturday's 80-77 defeat to Xavier marked the Bearcats' fourth straight loss in the rivalry series. It also was the first time since December 2017 both the Cincinnati men's and women's teams lost to their rival from across town.
While the UC women, who lost to the Musketeers 48-35 on Friday, can move on from their loss, the UC men aren't out of the woods yet as it relates to Xavier.
After losing to the Musketeers, Ohio State and Northern Kentucky in a 24-day span, the Bearcats (6-4) now set their sights on another nearby foe in Miami University.
