ALMA MATER
In the Mississippi Valley,
In the Crescent Bend
Stands our loved and noble Xavier,
Far her praises send.
Refrain:
Wave her colors bear them onward
Gold and white so true
Hail to thee, all hail, dear Xavier
Hail, all hail, X.U.!
Xavier, ever be our guide
And lead us on the way,
Through life's journey, onward, upward
To the eternal day. (Refrain)

Alexander's 3-pointer lifts Tuskegee in Big Easy Classic
November 9, 2012
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — David Alexander's 3-pointer with
15 seconds remaining in overtime gave Tuskegee a 62-60 men's basketball victory
against Spring Hill in the opening game of the Big Easy Classic at Xavier
University of Louisiana's Convocation Center.
Xavier defeated Jarvis Christian 75-71 in the second
game. Spring Hill will play Jarvis Christian at 2 p.m. Saturday, and Xavier will
play Tuskegee at 4.
Alexander's 3-pointer, his only field-goal attempt of
the game, came after Alex Looney's basket gave Spring Hill (0-3) a 60-59
lead with 49 seconds remaining. There were four lead changes in overtime,
which the Badgers forced after Brett Williams' 3-pointer at the buzzer in
regulation. That tied the score at 53.
Javier McKinney scored 13 points, Calvin Thomas 11 and
Elliott Dean 10 for Tuskegee, which is counting both its games in this event as
exhibitions. McKinney had five assists and four steals, one on Spring Hill's final
possession. McKinney also passed to Alexander for the winning shot.
Looney and Williams scored 13 points apiece for Spring
Hill, and Robert Gipson had 11. Looney missed three free throws in overtime.
Five times Tuskegee led by seven points, the latest at
25-18 after McKinney's 3-pointer at 18:35 of the second half. Spring Hill took
its first lead, 36-35, on Gipson's basket at 9:29 and three times led by
three points in the final nine minutes of regulation.
Tuskegee outshot Spring Hill 38.5 to 36.2 percent
from the floor and outrebounded the Badgers 42-36. The Golden Tigers committed
17 turnovers and gained 22.
