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)

NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Denzell Erves is the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week in men's
basketball for Jan. 16-22. It's the second time this season
that Erves earned the honor and the fourth consecutive week that the
Gold Rush received the award.
Erves, a 6-foot-7 junior forward from Vicksburg, Miss., and
a graduate of Vicksburg High School, averaged 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks
and shot 73.7 percent from the floor and 90 percent from the line during Xavier's 2-0 week.
Erves had career highs of 23 points and 13 rebounds Jan. 16 in an 87-80 home
victory against Philander Smith — 17 points and nine rebounds in the second half
to help Xavier erase a seven-point halftime deficit — and 14 points in a 77-64 home victory
against Talladega on Saturday. He scored five points against Talladega during an 11-2
second-half run
|
which gave Xavier the lead for good.
Erves has started all 20 games this season and
is averaging 8.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 24.8 minutes. He is shooting 56.2 percent
from the floor and 78 percent from the line. Erves leads Xavier with 18 blocked shots.
Four XU players — the others
are Cordell Hadnot, Nick Haywood and Anthony Simmons — have accounted for six of the
GCAC's 11 player awards this season. Simmons won the award the previous two weeks, and
Hadnot started the Gold Rush streak with a victory for Dec. 26-Jan. 1.
Xavier, 14-6 and ranked 19th in NAIA Division I, will
play Dillard at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Crosstown Classic at The Barn.
