Did anyone notice the last 2-3 months of basketball all of the local media was on uc and no one gave two shits about x. Even the NCAA coverage was all uc. X will always be second string.

Actually, the national media focused on Xavier more in the NCAA tournament. Multiple times saying how impressive 4 of 5 sweet 16's and only three other schools accomplishing that in the past 5 seasons.

For the past 5-8 years it has been a lose lose for Xavier, I am fine with the series stopping. Am I shocked UC fans want it to end after a 23 point loss? No.

The X basketball program is morally bankrupt. Not one of their current 4 person recruiting class had the brains to get NCAA minimum test scores in high school. More than likely 2 or 3 will not be able to get NCAA minimum scores out of prep school. XU is now seen nationally as nothing more than a locker room full of gangstas.

Chris Mack has let the inmates take control of the asylum, they will probably continue to win, but that program as flown off the hinges. Oh and the loss isn't why people want the series to end, it is the terribly unsafe environment at the Cintas. Cincinnati won by 20 the year before, and there was no issues of taunting or completely ridiculous acts by the fans or players.

Exactly, because Xavier players know how to take a loss in a tough environment. This years crosstown shootout was literally the first NCAA college game I've ever watched that the refs layed down the mercy rule and ended the game.

Xavier mercy ruled UC this past year, no wonder Cronin wants it to end.

Xavier players know how to take a loss in a tough environment?? I actually laughed out loud when I read that. How about when Tu and his gangsta buddies ripped a water fountain off the wall after losing at butler??

Xavier responds beautifully again though: No apology, no offer to pay, just Chris Mack saying after the game that Tu was an emotional kid. What a joke.

Next time you make a typical, smug Xavier argument, at least choose one that isn't laughable.

Agreed, the fight just fueled the fire for me, every one knows that cincy is back in business now, they are in the big east/ xavier is in the A10. plain and simple...... when kids get out of high school they arn't saying woah i want to play in the Atlantic 10.... what a joke. Cincy is going to pass xavier as the best team in cincy again without question, the only way xavier has a chance to keep up with us is if they also join the big east.... IMO that would be awsome.

You called Xavier a mid-major. "Only Mid-Majors hang banners for sweet 16's"

You called UC a low-major. "UC hangs banners for tournament appearances"

You showed nothing but respect for Xavier after doing that, and I appreciate it- knowing how hard it is for you.
