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)

November 28, 2012
NEW ORLEANS — For the first time this season
and the fourth time in his career, Xavier University of Louisiana's
Denzell Erves has been chosen Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Player of the Week in men's basketball.
Erves, a 6-foot-7 senior forward from Vicksburg, Miss.,
and a graduate of Vicksburg High School, won the award for Nov. 19-25 after
averaging 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds and shooting 71.4 percent from the floor
and 76.9 percent from the line in three games.
He produced double-doubles against William Carey and Concordia (Ala.), giving him six
in 10 games this season. Erves scored a season-high 21 points Saturday (8-of-9 field goals)
in a victory against Wiley at the Memphis (Tenn.) HBCU Classic.
Xavier was 2-0 in that event and earned back-to-back victories on a neutral court for
the first time since November 2004.
Erves won the GCAC player award three times in 2011-12.
He is the Gold Rush's second honoree this season — senior guard Wanto Joseph
earned the honor for Nov. 5-11.

Through 10 games, Erves is averaging 14.5 points, nine rebounds and
1.6 blocked shots and is shooting 53.5 percent from the floor and 72.5 percent from
the line. He ranks 10th in NAIA Division I in rebounds per game and 12th in blocks per game.
Xavier, 9-1 and ranked 19th in NAIA Division I, will play city
rival Loyola next Wednesday (Dec. 5) at 7:30 p.m. at XU's new Convocation Center.
