Expected winter precipitation postpones Gold Rush game

NEW ORLEANS -- Due to winter precipitation expected in metro New Orleans, Xavier University of Louisiana has canceled all classes and events on Tuesday, including a men's basketball home game against Belhaven.

The non-conference game was rescheduled for 6 p.m. on Feb. 25 at XU's Convocation Center.

Intellicast.com's Monday afternoon forecast for Tuesday called for morning rain and sleet turning to rain in the afternoon. There will be an 80-percent chance of a mix of wintry precipitation on Tuesday evening, followed by an overnight low of 29 degrees.

Xavier is 16-5 overall, 5-1 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference and ranked 16th in NAIA Division I.

The next Gold Rush game will start at 5 p.m. Saturday against GCAC opponent Tougaloo at Tougaloo, Miss. The next home game will start at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 17 against NAIA No. 21 Philander Smith.
