Xavier suffered more than one loss this past Saturday afternoon against Cincinnati. CBS Sports's Jon Rothstein reports that star forward Zach Freemantle is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.

Freemantle suffered the injury in the game but was able to finish with 18 points, seven rebounds, and four assists. Check out the play from WLWT's Marshall Kramsky where Freemantle likely got injured in what's an unfortunate takeaway from a great game.

The angle we caught of Freemantle falling towards the end of the game. Clearly limping as he got up.
