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)

Erves, Simmons lead Gold Rush to victory in Memphis
November 23, 2012
Box score
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — NAIA No. 19 Xavier University
of Louisiana got double-doubles from Denzell Erves and Anthony Simmons in a
75-61 men's basketball victory Friday against Concordia (Ala.) in the Memphis
HBCU Classic at Southwest Tennessee Community College.
Erves had 17 points and 10 rebounds — his sixth
double-double of the season and his third in a row — and Simmons produced his
second double-double, 11 points and 11 rebounds.
Wanto Joseph had 14 points and five assists for the
Gold Rush (7-1), and Xavier Rogers scored 13.
Zannie Pickens had 13 points and 10 rebounds for Concordia,
and Travis Rasco scored 10.
Erves had 11 points and seven rebounds and assisted on
Joseph's 3-pointer which gave Xavier a 33-22 halftime lead. Xavier led by double
digits for the final 15:09 and four times held a 19-point lead in the final 10 minutes.
Xavier outshot the Hornets 55.4 to 39.7 percent from the
floor — 51.9 to 27.3 percent in the first half — and outrebounded them 39-27.
It was the third time this season the XU men shot 50 percent or higher and the
sixth time they had a double-figure rebound advantage. It was the fewest points
Xavier allowed this season.
It's the seventh time in Dannton Jackson's 10 seasons
that the Gold Rush started the season 7-1 or better. Friday was Jackson's 300th
game as XU head coach; his record is 209-91.
In the other Friday games in this event, Wiley defeated
SUNO 71-66 in overtime, and Texas College beat Harris-Stowe 71-62.
Xavier will play Wiley (5-1) in the Memphis HBCU Classic at 2 p.m.
Saturday. A week ago the Gold Rush defeated Wiley 82-77 in overtime during XU's
homecoming doubleheader. The next XU home game will be Tuesday.
