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 drop to 21st, earn at-large berth in national tourney
|
March 7, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana is
21st in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll announced
Wednesday afternoon. About two hours later the NAIA announced that the Gold Rush
(23-8) received an at-large bid to next week's national tournament.
Xavier was 1-1 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
Tournament at Jacksonville, Fla., this past week and lost 66-65 to SUNO in
the semifinals Friday. SUNO then beat Tougaloo 79-58 in the championship
game Saturday to earn the GCAC's automatic bid to the tournament.
Xavier is in the top 25 for the 10th consecutive time
and the 23rd time in 24 polls dating to the start of the 2010-11 season.
The Gold Rush were 17th in the final poll before the 2011 national tournament.
Tougaloo remained 24th in the poll and also
received an at-large bid. The NAIA will announce the bracket
and game times by 6 p.m today.
The 75th-anniversary Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I
National Championship will begin next Wednesday at Kansas City, Mo., with
eight first-round games. The other eight first-round games will be played
the following day.
