Dark day for College Basketball

While most of the country enjoyed the upset in Bloomington, Indiana, an even occurred in Cincinnati that will leave a dark mark on Cincinnati and Xavier for years to come. The Crosstown Shootout (as it is known in Cincinnati) was a great rivalry game that fans from both schools always looked forward too. The usual trash talk proceeded the game and a horrible fight broke out. It was so horrific of a fight that many players may be suspended and even dismissed from the team. Watch the video and see for yourselves what you think.
Clearly this is something that will effect the image of these teams for the rest of the season. The bright spot in this brawl was Coach Mick Cronin's postgame news conference. Their are some players that should receive severe punishments, if not dismissals from their teams. It will be interesting to see if the Coach will stick to his words in the coming days.
