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)

Simmons, Gold Rush extend their streaks, hold off Rams
November 27, 2012
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Simmons recorded his third
consecutive double-double, 17 points and 12 rebounds, to lead NAIA No. 19 Xavier
University of Louisiana to a 69-66 men's basketball victory Tuesday against
Mobile at the Convocation Center.
The victory was a third in a row for the Gold Rush (9-1).
Wanto Joseph had 14 points and a season-high-tying
eight assists for Xavier, and Denzell Erves had 11 points and a career-high-tying
four blocked shots. Joseph and Erves have scored in double figures in every game this season.
Kwame Beard made five 3-pointers and scored 21 points
for Mobile (4-2). Chris Richardson scored 14 points, and Dominick Brumfield had
10 points and 12 rebounds.
Mobile never caught Xavier after Simmons scored the
first two points. The Gold Rush led 35-29 at halftime an extended the lead to
48-38 before the Rams closed the margin to 60-59 with 2:40 remaining.
A Xavier backcourt turnover in the final 10 seconds gave
Mobile a chance to force overtime, but Richardson missed a 3-pointer with three
seconds remaining, and Xavier's Gary Smith rebounded.
Xavier committed a season-low nine turnovers, outshot
the Rams 49 to 44.2 percent from the floor and outrebounded them 33-27. Mobile
dominated on the perimeter, making 11-of-24 3-pointers to Xavier's 0-of-8.
But the Gold Rush outscored the Rams 19-9 on free throws.
Xavier has won 30 of its past 32 non-conference home
games and 49-of-52. It's the sixth time in Dannton Jackson's 10 seasons as
head coach that the Gold Rush started 9-1 or better.
Xavier's next game will start at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 5 against
city rival Loyola at the Convocation Center. It will be the final Gold Rush home
game of the fall semester.
