Your Cincinnati Bearcats face off with the Xavier Musketeers tonight in the 89th edition of the Crosstown Shootout. We’re heading into the belly of the beast at the Cintas Center. Cincinnati has dropped the last eight meetings in their building.
The 8:30 PM game will be broadcast on FS1 in case you don’t have tickets.
Cincinnati enters the contest with a 7-2 mark in their non-conference slate, which feels pretty good right now. Wes Miller is playing a deep bench and getting substantial contributions from a number of players. The Bearcats have had two games that didn’t feel particularly good—the one-bucket loss to Monmouth and the one-point win over Miami Ohio.
