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)

Fisk defeats XU to put Gold Rush in 1st-place tie in GCAC
February 11, 2013
Box score
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Darrell Miller's basket with
2.2 seconds remaining Monday broke a tie and lifted Fisk to a 77-75 Gulf Coast

University of Louisiana.
The Gold Rush (21-6 overall, 8-3 GCAC) lost sole
possession of first place in the conference. Xavier shares the lead with
Philander Smith, a 97-68 winner at home against Dillard.
Nick Haywood missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer for
Xavier, which dropped consecutive games for the first time this season.
Haywood's 2-pointer with 18 seconds remaining tied the score at 75.
Brandyn Mungo scored 17 points, Bradley Grayson 15 and
Cameron Lewis 10 for Fisk (7-16, 3-8), which completed a two-game
regular-season sweep of the Gold Rush. Miller scored nine points.
Anthony Simmons scored 15 points — he was 7-of-7
from the floor — and Renard Smith scored 12 for Xavier. Denzell Erves
and Wanto Joseph scored 12 points each.
Fisk led 37-32 at halftime and held its biggest lead,
63-57, after Mungo's basket with 6:45 remaining. Xavier's largest lead in each
half was five points.
Xavier lost despite shooting 56.9 percent from the
floor. Fisk shot 51.1 percent, made nine 3-pointers — three each by Mungo
