Xavier center Kenny Freas use a white cloth to soak up
blood from the wound below his eye. The
coaches of both teams are hugged his players and tried to get the Bedlam. With
the latest film out of control on Saturday and ended in chaos, a few seconds
earlier. The
consequences have not even started.
Ranking eighth
beat Xavier
Crosstown rival Cincinnati 76-53 Saturday in a match that featured a
steady stream of trash talk, and was called with 9.4 seconds left, when the
team got in a fight in a corner of the court. Words
escalated into pushing and vibrations. Both benches cleared. Freas
left the court with a bloody face after being punched by Yancy Gates from
Cincinnati, and then launched Cheikh Mbodj Cincinnati, as he lay on the floor
on his knees. Xavier
recruit Dez Wells threw a punch during the scandal.
He got out of
black and blue marks on the annual competition. The
suspension is scheduled after the video review. The
Atlantic 10 and Big East have studied a fight, and schools. "There is no
excuse for any of them on our side, for its part," Cincinnati coach Mick
Cronin said angrily. "The
guys need to grow.
"There is no justification for that in basketball. You must learn to win on the one hand; you must learn to lose on the other side." The officials reviewed the video of the fight in the field instructors after the game, trying to see what happened. They declined to comment as they left the Cintas Center. A few hours later, the Atlantic 10 said Gates, Mbodj and Wells were listed as free with their actions were seen as most important.
The last two games of the series were unilateral, resulting in increased emotion. Cincinnati (5-3) won 20 points on its home court last season, finishing the most one-sided for a competition for eight years. Xavier (8-0) responded with his second prize in the history of the series. There is always trash talk at the dose of these games; players sometimes had to be pulled from each other by the judges and coaches. The fight on Saturday led to a new level.
