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)

Gold Rush 17th, Tougaloo 13th in NAIA coaches poll
|
February 21, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — For the first time this season,
Xavier University of Louisiana is not the highest ranked team from
the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches'
Top 25.
GCAC rival Tougaloo took the No. 13 position Xavier held last week,
and the Gold Rush dropped four places to 17th Monday. Xavier has fallen seven
places in the last two polls.
Xavier (24-4) won 66-57 at Mobile on Thursday
and lost 55-54 at home to SUNO on Saturday. The Gold Rush have lost two
of three games since a nine-game win streak.
Xavier will close the regular season with 7 p.m.
home games against St. Thomas (Texas) on Tuesday and Dillard on Saturday
in the Crosstown Classic. The Gold Rush won at St. Thomas and Dillard earlier
this season. Xavier will travel to Jacksonville, Fla., for the Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference Tournament next week, and the Rush will play in the
first round March 3 or draw a first-round bye and play in the semifinals
March 4. Seedings and pairings will be announced next week.
Tougaloo, which climbed six spots, has won eight
straight and 15 of its last 16 games. Robert Morris (Chicago) is No. 1 for the fifth straight
week and received all 12 first-place votes.
