It's time to sort through the rubble of Xavier men's basketball's Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout loss.
The No. 24-ranked Musketeers (14-6, 4-3 Big East) on Thursday lost to No. 19 Cincinnati, 86-78, bringing an end to Xavier's three-year run as winners of the rivalry game.
Junior guard Trevon Bluiett delivered a Shootout performance for the ages, but even that wasn't enough to lift the Musketeers on the night.
Before Xavier Nation turns to next year’s Shootout back at Cintas Center, it’s time to face up to what went wrong for the Musketeers in the memorable 2017 game.
