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)

Gold Rush extend longest NAIA poll streak of Jackson era
|
January 8, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
was 16th in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll announced Tuesday.
The Gold Rush are in the top 25 for the 15th consecutive time — the
program's longest streak since the start of the 1999-2000 season, which also makes
it the longest streak during Dannton Jackson's 10 seasons as head coach.
Xavier is in the top 25 for the 28th time in 29 polls.
This is the fourth poll of 2012-13, the third of
the regular season and the first since Dec. 11. The Gold Rush were 16th in
the previous poll.
Voting was based on games through Sunday. Xavier won 70-66
at Talladega the following day to improve to 14-3 overall and 2-0 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference.
The Gold Rush share first place in the GCAC with Philander Smith, which
received votes and tied for 28th place.
The Gold Rush won 5-of-6 games between polls, with the
only loss a 72-71 decision at then-No. 10 William Carey. The Crusaders are sixth
in this week's poll.
GCAC and city rival SUNO, which was 25th in the previous poll,
dropped out.
The next poll will be announced Jan. 15.
Xavier will play its next four games at XU's new Convocation
Center, including Tougaloo at 5 p.m. Saturday and SUNO at 7:30 p.m. Monday.
