OSU is the one I would worry about staying relevant, missed tourney 2 years in a row and impending FBI probe could find its way to Columbus.

I feel sorry for the people who just find anything to complain about. The OSU series is a great OCC deal. Period. Anyone who thought UK, Duke,Kansas was coming here doesn't really know college basketball.

We have been complaining about getting "ducked" for years by OSU. I see little to complain about unless we really didn't want it to happen. Duke or Kansas is not going to ever be a rivalry game. Maybe UK...but I would rather have OSU 10 out of 10 times for in state rivalry purposes.

Would love to see this!

Yeah if we can lock this thing into a yearly game, that's incredible in the long run. I'm very happy about this.

Not saying it won't, just saying that as long as UC basketball stays nationally ranked and competes for NCAA bids a game against OSU is always going to be a sellout draw.

Had it not had been framed like it was the biggest ticket in cincinnati, I’d agree that UK and other blue bloods are far fetched. I don’t care about ego or little brother syndrome, I care about quality basketball teams on our schedule. OSU will be a decent top 100 opponent but sure as hell isnt a blockbuster game.

Id be willing to bet the after market price of this years crosstown shootout tickets are pretty easily more expensive than osu and UC in early November (heart of football season). Xavier and UC is the hottest ticket in cincinnati and it’s not even close.

That all said, I do love the game. And I’ll glady be there, it’s just, this series is 5 years too late from being a marquee matchup that gets national attention., I framed in another post like Lebron and MJ playing one on one who is the best ever, yet Lebron is in his prime and MJ is 15 years past it. If we beat the shit out of osu will you really feel all this great ?

I strongly believe it will be the toughest ticket to get in this town in a long time. The only way to get it will be through buying season tickets or paying at least double face value on the secondary market IMO. You don't see it that way. That's fine. I stand by what I posted...
