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)

2nd-half rally gives Rush another 2-point win over SUNO
February 16, 2013
Box score
NEW ORLEANS — Denzell Erves' dunk with 48 seconds
remaining Saturday lifted NAIA No. 14 Xavier University of Louisiana to a 68-66
Gulf Coast Athletic Conference men's basketball victory against SUNO at The
Castle.
The Gold Rush (22-6 overall, 9-3 GCAC) snapped a
two-game losing streak and remained in a first-place tie in the conference
with Philander Smith, which won at home against Edward Waters.
Erves led Xavier with 16 points and nine rebounds.
Renard Smith had 14 points, four assists and a career-high five steals, and
Wanto Joseph had 12 points, six assists and three steals.
Freshman RJ Daniels passed to Erves for the winning
dunk on the right baseline. SUNO missed two field-goal attempts in the final
36 seconds and was unable attempt a shot after rebounding the second of
Joseph's two missed free throws with 0.9 seconds remaining.
Xavier trailed 41-33 at halftime and 61-56 with six
minutes remaining, then scored nine consecutive points. SUNO took its last
lead after Joshua Major's sixth 3-pointer of the game made it 66-65 at 2:19.
Major led the Knights (12-7, 6-6) with 19 points.
Clyde Moore had 18 points and nine rebounds, and Russell Hill — in his
SUNO debut after transferring from Southern — scored 10 points in 15
reserve minutes. SUNO made 12-of-23 3-pointers.
Both teams shot 46.9 percent from the floor.
Xavier won both regular-season meetings with SUNO by
two points. The other was 70-68 in overtime on Jan. 14. Seven of the last
nine meetings were decided by four points or fewer. Xavier swept SUNO in the
regular season for the first time in three years and won its sixth straight
at The Castle.
Xavier will visit Tougaloo at 7:30 p.m. Monday, then
play Dillard at 5 p.m. next Saturday in the regular-season-ending Crosstown
Classic at XU's new Convocation Center. Reserved tickets, priced at $5,
will go on sale at the Convocation Center box office from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Monday and be available through Thursday. Tickets purchased on game day will
cost $10. Students can pick up one free ticket with a valid XU ID from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. beginning Monday at the Student Activities Office in room 208
(second floor) of the University Center.
NOTES: Xavier has led or shared the lead
in the GCAC after every conference date this season. Xavier shared the
regular-season championship with Tougaloo a year ago after rallying from
2½-games behind in the final 13 days . . . Philander Smith will play its
remaining two GCAC games at home — Monday against Talladega and Saturday
against Fisk. Both opponents lost in double overtime to Philander Smith in
January . . . Erves, Joseph and Anthony Simmons moved closer to 1,000 career
points. Erves has 977, Joseph 973 and Simmons 943 . . . The men's and women's
GCAC tournaments will begin Feb. 28 in Little Rock, Ark., and will conclude
March 2.
