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)

Rush 24th in postseason poll for second consecutive year
|
March 27, 2013
NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana
is 24th for the second consecutive year in the NAIA Division I Men's Basketball
Coaches' Top 25 Postseason Poll.
The Gold Rush (24-8) arrived there after dropping
eight spots from the previous poll on March 6 — and 11 places in the
final two polls. Opening-round losses to Dillard in the Gulf Coast
Athletic Conference Tournament and to Faulkner in the Buffalo Funds-NAIA
Division I National Championship helped bring the Rush down in the rankings.
Xavier was 19th in the preseason poll and
spent seven weeks in the top 15, including a high of 11th place on
Jan. 22. The Gold Rush were one of six teams to drop seven or more
places and remain in the top 25.
This is the third consecutive year and the fourth time
in Dannton Jackson's 10 seasons as head coach that the Gold Rush are in the
final top 25 of the season. This is the second consecutive year that the
final poll was conducted after the national tournament.
Xavier will enter the 2013-14 season trying to extend a
streak of 24 consecutive top-25 appearances. The Gold Rush have appeaered in
the top 25 in 37 of the last 38 polls.
