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)

Xavier's Erves earns a pair of player-of-the-week awards

February 27, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's
Denzell Erves received a pair of honors Monday. He was chosen Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference Player of the Week in men's basketball, and he shared
Louisiana Player of the Week with two others.
Erves, a 6-foot-7 junior forward from Vicksburg,
Miss., and a graduate of Vicksburg High School, averaged 17 points, 9.5
rebounds and shot 56.5 percent from the floor to help the Gold Rush (22-7)
close the regular season with GCAC road victories against Fisk and Dillard.
Against Fisk he had 16 points and 10 rebounds for his sixth double-double of
the season — the most by an XU player since the start of 2003-04 —
and he had 18 points, nine rebounds and two blocks to help the Rush complete a
regular-season sweep of its longtime city rival. He helped Xavier score
back-to-back 20-point victories in conference for the first time since
January 1996.

Erves tied for the Louisiana award, which is chosen by
a Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel, with Trevor Gaskins of Louisiana
Tech and Ricky Tarrant of Tulane.
It's the third time this season that Erves won the
GCAC award. Teammate Anthony Simmons has won twice this season, and Cordell
Hadnot and Nick Haywood did it once each.
In 29 games this season, Erves is averaging 9.4 points
and a team-best 6.6 rebounds. He has started 28 times and leads Xavier with 29
blocked shots.
Xavier will play Fisk at 4 p.m. EST Thursday in the
quarterfinals of the GCAC Tournament at Jacksonville, Fla.
