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)

Hornets Night comes to The Barn on Monday night
November 13, 2008
NEW ORLEANS — The Xavier University of
Louisiana men's basketball program and the New Orleans Hornets are
teaming up for a sponsored home game next week.
It will be Hornets Night at The Barn when the Gold
Rush plays Philander Smith at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 17.
Hugo, members of the Honeybees dance team and the
Hornets Drumline are scheduled to entertain during the game. There will be
contests and a T-shirt toss during timeouts, and the Honeybees will be available
at halftime for autographs in the lobby of The Barn.
"We are excited and honored that the New Orleans
Hornets are a sponsor of Gold Rush basketball," said Xavier coach Dannton Jackson.
"Hornets Night will be a fun night for our fans."
Hornets Night will be the latest chapter in Xavier's
relationship with the NBA franchise. The Hornets contributed $5,000 in 2007 to
the university's scholarship fund. And this past summer Jackson was director
of the Hornets Summer Hoops Clinic.
Xavier is 3-0 and No. 19 in the Victory
Sports Network NAIA Division I preseason ranking. The Gold Rush seeks a
fifth consecutive appearance — which would extend a school
record — in the Buffalo Funds-NAIA
Division I National Championship at Kansas City, Mo. Xavier's 25 seasons
of 20 or more victories are the most in the history of Louisiana
collegiate men's basketball.
