Xavier took UC's punch and is ready to deliver a knockout to UC. Muskies up 56-43 with 12:19 left. The fury is building among UC fans. It can be mitigated if the Cats respond and win. Pitino's coaching job - whether he wins this game and improves to 7-3 or not - is among the best

Pretty much what you would expect from a Crosstown Shootout. Intense, tight defense, cold shooting, hot streaks and a dead heat at the half, 37-37. Abaev leads UC with 11. Tre Carroll leads X with 11. UC shooting 36.1 percent. X shooting 38.9. UC 6 turnovers. X only 2.

UC has taken seven shots, six of them from beyond the arc. Made two of them. Not usually a formula for success on the road in this environment. But shooting threes is pretty much UC's primary half-court offense. They'll keep shooting till they fall- or not. Xavier up 12-7 4:22
