Crosstown Classic doubleheader moved to Feb. 20

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana’s Crosstown Classic basketball doubleheader, originally set for Saturday (Nov. 18) at the Convocation Center, has been moved to Feb. 20 because of a scheduling conflict.

The XULA arena will be used Saturday for local and state runoff elections for Orleans Parish ward 2, precinct 7. Polls will open at 7 a.m. close at 8 p.m. The XULA-Dillard basketball games were scheduled for 5:30 and 7:30 p.m.

The move to Feb. 20 — 5:30 p.m. women, 7:30 men — will give the Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush five consecutive home games over 10 days to close the regular season.
