The Crosstown Classic | Xavier vs. Cincinnati

There are rivalries, and then there is the Crosstown
Classic. 


The annual showdown between the University of Cincinnati and
Xavier University is one of the most heated and contentious
matchups in all of sports.

From the Huggins handshake-less finish to a cowbell from the
stands, I don’t think that’s what SNL Skit meant when they were
asking for more cowbell. There is nothing quite like the rivalry
between the two schools separated by a mere 2.7 miles.


It is my favorite rivalry in college basketball (sorry, UNC-Duke)
and it returns on December 10th when the Cincinnati Bearcats
battle the Xavier Musketeers in the 90th edition of the Crosstown
Shootout. And while Cincinnati holds the 51-38 series lead.
Xavier has won 11 of the past 15 contests.
