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)

October 23, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — For the third consecutive season,
Xavier University of Louisiana earned a spot in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches'
Preseason Top 25 Poll. Xavier is 19th, its highest preseason ranking since 2007.
The poll was announced Tuesday.
The Gold Rush, 23-9 in 2011-12 and the defending Gulf
Coast Athletic Conference regular-season co-champion, are in the top 25 for
the 12th consecutive time and the 25th time in 26 polls dating to the start of the
2010-11 season. Xavier's highest ranking last season was 18th twice.
The next poll will be announced Dec. 4.
The XU men on Tuesday evening conducted their first
practice in the new Convocation Center. The building will be dedicated Nov. 3,
and the Gold Rush will play Morehouse at 1 p.m. that day. Tickets cost $10
and can be purchased at the XU athletics administration office in The Barn.

The Gold Rush will attempt to reach 20 victories for the third consecutive
