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)

Rush surge to 18th, Nuggets fall to 20th in NAIA polls
|
February 27, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — The men outrank the women for the
first time this season.
The Xavier University of Louisiana men's basketball
team climbed seven spots to 18th Monday in the NAIA Division I coaches poll.
It's the biggest upward move for the Gold Rush (22-7) since December 2010.
The Gold Nuggets (22-8) fell one spot to 20th in the
women's poll but extended their streak of top-25 appearances to 29.
The Gold Rush won at Fisk and Dillard to earn a share
of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference regular-season championship with
Tougaloo, which dropped from 17th to 24th in the poll. The XU men matched
their highest rank this season.
The XU women also won at Fisk and Dillard to win the
GCAC regular-season title by a game over Talladega, which was among others
receiving votes for the third straight week.
Oklahoma Baptist is the top-ranked men's team for the
second straight week, and Oklahoma City's women are No. 1 for the fifth
consecutive time.
Xavier is one of nine schools with men's and women's
teams in the top 25. The other schools are Azusa Pacific, Columbia (Mo.),
Georgetown (Ky.), Lee (Tenn.), MidAmerica Nazarene, Rogers State, Shorter and
Southern Nazarene. A week ago there were 10 such schools, and two weeks there
were 11.
Both Xavier teams will play Fisk on Thursday in the
quarterfinals of the GCAC tournaments at Jacksonville, Fla. The Nuggets will
play at 10 a.m. EST, and the Rush will play at 4 p.m.
