Xavier men's basketball will take a short commute to the University of Cincinnati for the 2024 Crosstown Shootout.
The Bearcats are the No. 22 ranked team in the country with a 7-1 record thus far. Their only loss has come against Villanova on Dec. 3. Simas Lukosius has been great in his second season with the team. The senior is averaging 16.3 points on 55.2 percent from the field and 52.8 percent from distance. It's a major step up from his junior year output.
His presence on the floor has Cincinnati looking dangerous to start the year. The team hasn't faced a ranked opponent yet, but this Xavier team will be a tough test. The Musketeers are 8-2 with losses to Michigan and TCU.
Zach Freemantle leads the team with 16.8 points and 7.8 rebounds, while Ryan Conwell follows up with 16.4 points. This forward-guard duo has been essential to the team's success this season.
