After Saturday's men's basketball showdown at the Cintas Center, the Cincinnati Bearcats and Xavier Musketeers will renew pleasantries in women's basketball at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 12, at UC's Fifth Third Arena.
The game will give three former Greater Cincinnati high school standouts their first chance to shine in the Crosstown Shootout after last year's meeting was canceled by the pandemic. Here is a look at their performances:
