CINCINNATI Xavier-Cincinnati is a Forever Game, not just this year but every year, the kind of rivalry game that makes legends and stories remembered for years to come.

College Hoops Predictions For Wednesday Night, December 14

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  December 14, 2011
It’s early in the college hoops season and in most cases I have only had limited chances to see the teams play. They are still learning to play together, so it’s difficult to take big stand on any of these games. I think it’s a good idea to spread out, bet a lot of games, and keep the action small. Later, as teams begin their conference schedule, I like to hone...
