No. 8 Xavier 76, Cincinnati 53

Posted December 10, 2011 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Mark Lyons
TEAMS: Xavier Musketeers

Eighth-ranked Xavier defeated crosstown rival Cincinnati 76-53 in a game that was called with 9.4 seconds left when the teams got into a brawl. The game was stopped after words led to shoving and both benches cleared. Coaches from both teams had to pull their players away. Mark Lyons scored 19 points, and Tu Holloway led a 12-point run in the first half for Xavier. The Musketeers (8-0) extended their best start in three years and their recent domination of the Bearcats (5-3). Cincinnati went 1 of 16 from behind the arc and trailed by double digits the entire second half. Xavier has won four of the last five, seven of the last 10, and nine of the last 13 games in the city's annual bragging-rights game.

Xavier-Cincinnati Game Ends In Ugly Brawl

Via Hardcourt Mayhem  |  December 10, 2011
A lot of trash-talking was going during the Xavier-Cincy game today. Xavier ended up winning, 76-53, but the trash-talking just kept going. It later led up to this ugly brawl: Expect a lot of suspensions here, especially for Yancy Gates, who decked Kenny Frease in the face. At the end of the game, Xavier backed themselves up saying they were gangsters and basically saying you shouldn...

Brawl exposes greedy coaches

Xavier head coach Chris Mack deserved the longest suspension. Instead, he'll parlay Tu Holloway and Mark Lyons into a major-college job and a fat pay raise.

There will be a post on the post game fight shortly, but let's just cover the game. Xavier proved too athletic and too tough defensively for the Cincinnati Bearcats today, winning 76-53.

Breaking Down the Fight

With 9 seconds left, a huge fight errupted in the Crosstown Shootout. Obviously many factors are to blame here. The officials didn't do anything to stop a halftime pull apart, and tensions simmered the rest of the game. Xavier was up 23 points, why were their starters in? I don't know, but they were. I'm going to try my best to break down the fight between the teams....
