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's No. 11 rank is the highest in nearly two years
|
January 22, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
climbed two places to 11th Tuesday in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball
Coaches' Top 25 Poll. It's the highest national position for the Gold Rush since a No. 10 ranking
on Feb. 7, 2011.
Voting was based on games through Sunday. The following
day Xavier lost 74-65 at home to Gulf Coast Athletic Conference rival Fisk
to snap a six-game winning streak. XU's two most recent victories were 70-68
in overtime against SUNO on Jan. 14 and 84-79 Saturday against then-No. 22 Philander
Smith. The Panthers, who share first place in the GCAC with Xavier, fell
to 23rd.
Also receiving votes from the GCAC was SUNO, which
is 29th with 24 points.
Xavier is in the top 25 for the 30th time in 31 polls
and the 55th time overall during Dannton Jackson's 10 seasons as head coach.
Xavier's current streak is 17 consecutive polls, fifth longest among this week's top 25.
Xavier will visit GCAC and city rival Dillard at 7 p.m. Saturday
and Mobile at 7:30 p.m. Monday. The next poll will be released Jan. 22.
