Cincinnati will suspend Yancy Gates, Octavius Ellis, and Cheikh Mbodj for 6 games and suspend Ge'Lawn Guyn for 1 game following the fight that occured at the end of yesterday's Crosstown Shootout against Xavier. Their suspensions will start with their next game against Wright State. Guyn will be back for their game against Radford and the rest will be back after the game against Pitt on Jan. 1st. The Big East will not add any further punishment and it's expected that the NCAA will not as well, but it's not out of the question.

Xavier will have a press conference in an hour. Xavier's only official game rejection was Dez Wells. It's expected that Holloway and Lyons will serve at least a 1 game suspension and Wells will most likely serve multiple games. Xavier's next 3 games are Oral Roberts, Long Beach State, and Gonzaga
