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 are 13th in NAIA after climbing three places
|
February 26, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
was one of five teams to climb three or more places Tuesday in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball
Coaches' Top 25 Poll. The XU men (24-6) climbed three spots and are 13th,
their highest ranking in three weeks.
It's the fourth time in 11 polls this season that
the Gold Rush ranked 13th. Xavier has been as high as 11th twice this season,
most recently on Feb. 5.
Voting was based on games through Sunday.
Xavier closed the regular season with a pair of Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
victories, and the winning margins were its two largest of the year.
The Rush won 75-54 at Tougaloo — Xavier's first victory there since
2005 — and 70-46 at home against Dillard.
Xavier repeated as GCAC regular-season co-champion
and will play Dillard at 2:30 p.m. Thursday in the opening round of the
GCAC Tournament at Barton Coliseum in Little Rock, Ark. Xavier, the
tournament's top seed, seeks its third consecutive berth in the
Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I National Championship at Kansas City, Mo.
