It’s not often that the Crosstown Shootout is never really in dount. That was the case though, today. Xavier came out and scored the first basket, then they scored the second one. After the first half, the question only seemed to be what the margin might be by the end. Xavier dominated this game from start to finish on their way to a 13 point win.
Tyrique Jones set the mood early by showing absolutely no fear against Cincinnati’s vaunted combination of forwards in Gary Clark and Kyle Washington. Jones caught an early pass from a high-low post entry and finished it off with Clark hanging on his back like Superman’s cape.
