Which of the following is the greatest Crosstown Victory in Xavier History?
<tbody>
1927-28
Xavier
29-25
Schmidt Fieldhouse
</tbody>
First game ever between Xavier and UC. This game was the dedication ceremony of Schmidt Fieldhouse. X won, and would not see UC again until 1942.
<tbody>
1996-97
Xavier
71-69
Shoemaker Center
</tbody>
The Cincinnati Bearcats were ranked #1 in the country and were largely considered frontrunners for the national championship by several media outlets, including Sports Illustrated. Xavier's Lenny Brown made a running one-hander at the buzzer to propel Xavier to a 71-69 win. Both teams made it to the NCAA Second Round. UC Bearcats are #1 in the Country, #2 in their own City (http://youtu.be/xydgOHauwbU).
<tbody>
1999-00
Xavier
66-64
Cincinnati Gardens
</tbody>
Again the Bearcats were ranked #1 in the country. And again Xavier defeated Cincinnati 66-64 in the final moments of the game on two free throws and a breakaway dunk by Kevin Frey.
<tbody>
2003-04
Xavier
71-69
Cintas Center
</tbody>
The Crosstown at the Cintas Center, but Xavier's first victory. No profane taunts, no technical fouls, no on-court tussles. The city's basketball rivalry was more civil this time around. Chalmers scored 20 points and hit a fadeaway jumper with 27 seconds left Tuesday night, leading Xavier to a 71-69.
<tbody>
2009-10
Xavier
83-79 (2OT)
Cintas Center
</tbody>
Two technicals. Two overtimes. Sharp elbows and even sharper tongues. A senior making the winning play at the end. Jason Love had a game clinching FT and Rebound to propel X to victory.
