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)

Two 27-game winners put XU in elite groups in 2010-11

April 7, 2011
NEW ORLEANS — What does Xavier University of Louisiana
have in common with Connecticut, Duke, North Carolina and Notre Dame?
All five colleges had men's and women's basketball teams
that won at least 27 games during the 2010-11 season.
The list isn't much bigger than that. Xavier was one of
three NAIA Division I members to reach a pair of 27s — Azusa Pacific and
Texas Wesleyan were the others — and NAIA Division II's Davenport and
Indiana Wesleyan also achieved it. No schools in NCAA Division II or III had a
pair of 27-game winners.
So that brings the total to nine out of more
than 1,200 four-year U.S. colleges which sponsor men's and women's teams.
"That's an amazing list," said Dennis Cousin, Xavier's
athletics director. "It's not a long list, and that's why it's great to see Xavier on there.
I know our coaches and athletes worked very hard this season. Any positive
recognition is good for them and for Xavier."
Although Xavier's basketball teams have combined
for nearly 50 20-win seasons, this was the first time that both reached 25
victories in the same season. It's the seventh time in Louisiana history
that a college had a pair of 25-game winners and the fourth time for a pair
of 27s.
Among Historically Black Colleges and Universities,
Xavier is the first with a pair of 25-game winners since Norfolk State in
1994-95. Norfolk State is the only other HBCU with a pair of 27-game
winners, accomplishing that in 1993-94.
