Ah yeah, that was right before you guys blew a 22 point lead to Nevada in the Round of 32 as a #2 seed right? Must be a nice memory.

The team was stacked. There is no excuse for not making the tournament with this much talent.

I like Chris Mack more than Sean Miller.

No shot Mack is the guy

Yeah but you’re probably not going to win one this year. I like that you think now that you’re squad is going to be a middle of the pack team at best team in the B12 you can troll

lol your scrub-ass league got 2 bids this year. 2. Its champion is a 5 seed.

BE got 6.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Some of us suspected that he could be on the hot seat after a late-season implosion for the second straight year. A little surprised to see him canned this quickly.

 

[August_West]

risky move for this mid major program in a mediocre league. dont know how much interest this job will get.

remember that time Jalen Adams sunk an 80 foot shot against your team with your players celebrating after that, and the coach who presided over that then subsequently left and took his new team to Final four instead of round of 32?

It's a program that expects to go to the tournament every season and to do some damage. They're showing how serious they are about winning.

@kobe, my daughter graduates from Cincy on April 29th. Want to meet me for a beer or two?

 

[Kolumbo]

This will be interesting to watch, given Xavier is by far the best basketball program in the great city of Cincy. It's not like it's an outlier in a conference whose only mate is west virginia.

 

[PlayItLeo]

While I think this is the right move now and X had to make this move, I think this is going to bite Xavier one day. I feel like Steele may drop to a lower coaching tier, kill it, and next thing you know, he'll be worthy of a step up again.

Let's run it back!

and I see you

Was Steele on the hot seat at the beginning of the year.... heck, was he on the hot seat at the midpoint of the season.

It was warm at the beginning. He knew the deal. NCAAs or fired.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

OP, please change title to “Dan Hurley to Xavier?” Please

Seriously, is anyone else hearing rumors that Cooley might take this job?

Hearing that after last night's NIT win, Steele has vaulted into front-runner status for the Florida job.

Collective exhale, Husky fans.

"compete and advance in the NCAAs". Thats a really weird thing to say. Why not aim for winning the whole thing?

 

[MDHuskFan]

Tyrell Ward is worth a call for sure if there is an opening. Lots of the other schools who were in his final list are in a similar position (LSU, UGA, Georgetown potentially)

 

[QuickDraw]

I always thought it was Win & advance

Xavier competed & lost, alot

 

[Watchdog]

Miller returning? Probably some nice decommits hitting the recruiting market late. Wonder if we'll give Claude a look

Let's get DC at UConn. Nice to have a home grown, 6'5", point guard!

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Would love to have either Miller or Mack back in the Big East. We don't compete for the same recruits as XU so no worries there. The better the program, the better the league, the better it all is for our program.
