I am a freelance writer. I've covered the Cincinnati Reds, Bengals and others since 1992.
I have a background in sales as well. I've sold consumer electronics, advertising and consumer package goods for companies ranging from the now defunct Circuit City to Procter&Gamble.
I have worked as a stats operator for Xavier University, the University of Cincinnati, the College of Mount St. Joe and Colerain High School.
ESPN brought together two long-time rivals in a late afternoon matchup at the Cintas Center.
The Butler Bulldogs and Xavier Musketeers have a rivalry that goes back to the days of the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. The pair battled for 16 seasons.
The Bulldogs are one season removed from back-to-back appearances in the NCAA final games. Led by youthful coach Brad Stevens, 36, who can pass for half that age, Butler lost to Duke in the 2010 final game 61-59 and to Connecticut 53-41 in 2011.
The Bulldogs joined Xavier in the Atlantic-10 this season.
Xavier defeated the Bulldogs 62-47 behind the scoring and rebounding of Jeff Robinson (17 pts, 8 rbs) and Travis Taylor (15 pts, 9 rbs).
Xavier won its third straight meeting betweeb the teams. The ESPN Tip-Off Marathon matchup is a non-conference game. The two will meet on March 9, 2013 at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse in the conference game.
Xavier built a 36-29 halftime lead by shooting 58 percent from the floor, including 3-for-7 from three-point range.
Butler was never closer than four points at the 18:00 minute mark. Xavier put on a 10-1 run to give them a cushion, eventually stretching the lead to 60-40 with 4:28 to go.
Travis Taylor quietly joined the Thousand Point Club at 1,010 career points that included two seasons at Monmouth University.
Xavier improves to 2-0. Butler is 1-1. The Bulldogs own a win over Elon in the Maui Classic.
