Xavier's preponderance of power over the University of Cincinnati Bearcats in the storied Crosstown Shootout rivalry is under threat.
The No. 24 Musketeers (14-5, 4-3 Big East) have ruled the rivalry of late, having won each of the last three games against the Bearcats – now the No. 19-ranked team in America at 17-2 overall.
But many hail this iteration of UC as the best-ever under head coach Mick Cronin.
Others have recently deemed the Bearcats as a dark-horse threat to the NCAA title.
