First things first; North Carolina @ Kentucky last week was "intense" and "passionately fought." The Xavier/UC nonsense today was just immaturity and sloppiness. There is a huge difference - please don't let any of the similarly sloppy media coverage convince you sucker punching and brawling equals "intensity." It's just not accurate.
I'm not going to go all Joe Buck/Bob Costas sanctimonious on you here, but it is getting a little ridiculous how impossible it is becoming to talk about basketball after each annual installment of Cincinnati's fabled Crosstown Shootout. Which is a shame too, because it is otherwise fantastic attention for one of the nation's finest college basketball regions in the country.
Here's a few good stories recapping today's nonsense, as well as a few links to previous Maniac Crosstown columns...
A little classic Crosstown Shootout Audio - Good call Andy Mac!
"First in the Nation - Second in their own city!" LOVE IT!
