Seton Hall Saturday At 5/3 Arena

The women try again to get their third Big East win Saturday night at Fifth Third Arena when they host Seton Hall.  The Pirates are coming of of a big road win earlier this week over Syracuse 70-66, a team that beat UC last Saturday by one point.  The Cats know how important it is to win at home and the key to Seton Hall is their inside game.

Saturday January 17     Seton Hall @ Fifth Third Arena  7:00 Tip Time.

Confidence Not Shaken by Syracuse Loss

A year ago the women's basketball team won only 2 Big East Conference games the entire season.  So the fact that they were looking at going 3-0 last Saturday shows how far this team has come.  That however, doesn't make the heartbreaking loss any easier to swallow.  Jasmine Logan stopped by practice Tuesday and found a team that is putting Syracuse behind them and setting their sights on Seton Hall.

We want to thank Coach Hall, his team and the women's basketball staff for allowing us access to practice.  Along with Sports Information Director Jeremy Martin this is an extremely easy group to work with.

Crosstown Today

The womens Skyline Chili Crosstown Shootout tips off today at 2:00 inside Fifth Third Arena. Earlier in the week the event was nearing a sellout. That would be the third sellout in a row. Last years UC upset the Muskies in the Cintas Center in Coach J. Kelly Hall's first year. Today Xavier comes in ranked #23, but just like we have found out in the men's version over the years....rankings mean nothing.

Today's game is also a celebration of women's athletics in Cincinnati. The gates open at 12:30 with fan giveaways and autograph sessions with current UC and Xavier female student athletes. Halftime will be an Olympic celebration that will include UC gold medalist Mary Wineberg. Tip off for the game is 2:00 This years crosstown shootout will be televised on the Fox Sports Network.
