January 5, 201214 yr According to an e-mail today from the Dean of Students, Luther Smith: 1. The actions taken by the STUDENTS at the Crosstown Shootout "contributed to the hostile" environment of the game, and that is unacceptable. 2. Due to the unacceptable actions of the students, ALL STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED THE CROSSTOWN SHOOTOUT GAME MUST ATTEND A MANDATORY "REFLECTION" HEARING MEETING. 3. IF THIS MEETING IS NOT ATTENDED, YOU WILL NOT BE GRANTED STUDENT SECTION TICKETS FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR XAVIER CAREER. Dr. Luther Smith Dean of Students, Senior Student Affairs

January 6, 201214 yr Author Paint pellets? Some kind of packet they used for body paint. 20 or so were launched from the stands...
January 6, 201214 yr Author The actual email sent to students at the game. Dear Xavier Student: As you are aware, violations of what Xavier considers to be appropriate conduct occurred at a variety of levels at the Men’s Basketball Crosstown Shootout between Xavier and the University of Cincinnati on Saturday, December 10, 2011. The student section contributed to the hostile atmosphere that charged the arena with unsportsmanlike conduct through unacceptable chanting, verbal expletives, and objects being thrown onto the arena floor. As a Jesuit, Catholic university, the behaviors demonstrated are not becoming of its students and is in conflict with the mission, values, and standards of Xavier University. There are consequences associated with inappropriate behaviors by the student section ticket holders; therefore, all Xavier students who attended the Crosstown Shootout and who sat in the student section are expected to participate in one (1) of three (3) reflection sessions during the first week of the spring semester, 2012. All three (3) reflection sessions will be held in Kennedy Auditorium, Conaton Learning Commons from 7:00 – 8:00 pm. The dates from which you may choose are: Sunday, January 8, 2012 Monday, January 9, 2012 Tuesday, January 10, 2012 Attendance will be taken at these sessions. You will be ineligible to receive men’s basketball home game tickets for the remainder of the 2011-12 season should you dismiss this obligation. There will be no make-up sessions and no exceptions for non-compliance with this expectation. There will be a sign out procedure following the session that will require your University ALL Card; please make sure to bring this with you.
January 6, 201214 yr Write on the blackboard 100 times: "I must not aim my paint pellets at the UC family section and players."
January 6, 201214 yr Tu "we have gangsters in our lockerroom" Holloway taunts UC players and coaches throughout the game and is a major instigator of the fight. One game suspension. Fans suspended for the rest of the season?? :idunno:
January 6, 201214 yr Dear Xavier, Quit bringing it up and maybe we will forget how poorly you handled the situation. Always, TVC51
January 6, 201214 yr I have heard that Father Graham met with the players sometime shortly after the game and lit into them and said actions going forward would be a loss of scholarship. They have seemingly lost their edge since then.
January 6, 201214 yr This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard. No way they can possibly enforce this. :lol:Oh yeah they can. Most universities use a control system to monitor attendance for many reasons. As a ticket holder enters the arena and they scan that ticket, they know who it belongs to. In my case, I get priority points toward away games and special event access, based on my game attendance. I know the USF student tickets are assigned to their student IDs when they are distributed, then scanned when used. I would assume X does the same.
January 6, 201214 yr This is hilarious. I think the Muskies have suffered enough going 1-5 in their last 6 games. The fans didnt start that fight on the court, how ridiculous.
