The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Xavier five that day
The Bearcats stood 14-0, a better team than they
And then when Lyons nervously cried and Freese did the same
The team just stared in the lockerroom, frightened, as they waited for the game
They left the lockerroom as one, determined to give their best
As they marched onward to the court to begin their impossible test
Yet somehow they won the tipoff and jumped out to lead
At least for a little moment they could fight off the urge to conceed
But then the mighty Gates did force his way into the lane
and stuffed through a shattering dunk right over top of McClain
Then Rashad Bishop stroked a three and Davis then drained two
The Bearcats were now in business; there was nothin X could do
Then from 13,000 throats and more there rose a lusty yell
It shot throughout the rafters and the noise began to swell
It echoed at the Xavier bench and their players did go lame
For the Bearcats, the mighty Bearcats were taking control of the game
There was an ease in the Bearcats rhythm as they completely owned the court
Such pride in their performance as they dominated this sport
And when responding to the cheers they upped their game some more
Before you knew it another run, this one sixteen to four
Then the thug Tu Hallow threw a punch and earned himself a T
And in that classless moment the Cats stood tall, just letting it be
And when that final whistle blew the Bearcats won the day
15 and 0, now on they go...to dominate Big East play
Oh somewhere in this favored city the stars are shining bright
UC's band is playing somewhere, UC's fans hearts are light
The UC players now are laughing, and the muskies just lay and pout
Because there is no joy in Norwood... little Xavier just got BLOWN OUT.
