Best performances in Crosstown Shootout history
There are rivalries, and then there is the Crosstown Shootout.
The annual showdown between the University of Cincinnati and Xavier University men's basketball teams is one of the most heated and contentious matchups in all of sports.
From the handshake-less finish and the benches-clearing brawl, to fans throwing a wine bottle and a cowbell from the stands, there is nothing like the rivalry between the two schools separated by a mere 2.7 miles.
Before the Musketeers and Bearcats take the court again Sunday (3 p.m. on ESPN), we take a look at the best performances in Crosstown Shootout history.
