Basketball

Students stand the ENTIRE game, no matter what. 

Basketball Chants and Traditions:

When Xavier is on offense:

  • "Let's Go X!" *clap* (3 times)

  • "Let's Go Muskies!" *clap* *clap* *fast 3x-clap* (3 times)

  • "Here we go Muskies, Here we go!" *clap-clap* (3 times)

When Xavier is on defense:

  • "De-fense" *clap-clap* (repeat 3 times)

  • If your not yelling defense, be yelling loud and proud!

THE ESSENTIAL TRADITIONS:

Xavier Fight Song

The lyrics to the Xavier fight song are as shown below:

During the song's bridge, spell out Xavier by raising your arms in an X - A - V with three claps in between each letter. Finally move your arms forward, back and forward to form the I - E - R. The song is usually repeated twice. (You’ll get the hang of it!)

Blob's Banter

Blob's Banter contains all the information and dirt on the opposing team, as well as information on all upcoming Xavier Athletic events, you could possibly need!  Located on your seat before the game courtesy of X-treme Fans Board of Directors. Know your team. Know your opponent. 

NEWSPAPER TOSS

When Xavier makes their first basket (it can’t be a free throw), toss your ripped up newspaper into the air! Students turn around when the opposing team lineup is getting called. Shout “Who Cares!” as each of their names gets called and rip the newspaper in preperation. Newspaper will be on the seat when students arrive.

TREMOR

After the teams are announced the lights go dark. Students sway back and forth in their rows, arms around each other. As the beat picks up, so does the energy. Jump up and down, go crazy, and get hyped cause the games about to start!

SILENT X

When Xavier is shooting free throws, the student section crosses their arms in an X while holding up the number of the shooter with your fingers in silence. After the made free throw, say "Woosh!”

During opposing free throws: yell, wave towels, balloons, fatheads, whatever you can to distract the shooter. Go crazy folks.

POST-GAME PLAYER WALK

Immediately following the game, the party begins!  After every single game, the players walk behind the basket and through the front of the student section to thank the fans for their support, as we thank them for their effort.  

Roll BLoB Roll

We all love the Blue Blob and it nothing is better than seeing the Blob roll down the basketball court. Chant, "Roll Blob Roll!" to see it make its' way down the court.
