Today's preview includes:
It goes without saying that bragging rights in the city are on the line tonight. The nation is watching, too. A loss would bounce the No. 1 Bearcats from the top of the polls. A victory would give Xavier instant national recognition.
STORY
The game will be good. When isn't it? Xavier-UC will always be pure thump and grudge, regardless of what precedes it. But the rivalry has lost some edge.
PAUL DAUGHERTY COLUMN
Will last season's stars be this season's stars? Danny Fortson dominated in UC's 99-90 victory with 40 points and 17 rebounds. Xavier's Darnell Williams, then an unknown freshman, poured in 24 points.
