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)

9-0 Gold Rush rally late to topple Talladega
December 3, 2010
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Simmons had career highs of 19
points and 13 rebounds Friday, and NAIA No. 20 Xavier University of Louisiana
rallied in the final 4½ minutes for a 70-63 men's basketball victory against Talladega.
The Gold Rush are 9-0 for the first time since the 1983-84
season and the second time since World War II. XU has 13 consecutive regular-season
victories and an 11-game win streak at The Barn.
Consecutive 3-point plays by Montrelle Taylor fueled a
14-0 spurt which gave Talladega (5-6) a 57-55 lead with 6:11 remaining. But Xavier
closed with a 13-4 run that included 11 free throws in 14 attempts. Simmons' two free
throws at 3:32 put the Rush ahead to stay at 61-59.
Devin Andrew scored all 12 of his points in the
second half for Xavier — he led the Rush with five points in the closing run —
and Michael Harvey scored 11, including a season-best three 3-pointers. Simmons'
double-double was his second of the season.
Kerry Harvis scored 22 points, and Taylor added a season-high
16 for Talladega, which dropped its third straight.
Xavier outshot Talladega 50 to 17 percent from the floor,
and Simmons had 13 points en route to XU's 38-27 halftime lead. The Gold Rush finished
at 42 percent — Talladega at 27.9 — and Xavier had a 45-36 rebound advantage.
Talladega, playing the sixth of 12 consecutive road games
and its third in five days, lost three players to fouls.
Xavier will visit city rival Loyola for a 7
p.m. game Monday.
