The Xavier Musketeers have advanced to the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in Chris Mack’s eight seasons.
The Musketeers will meet up with a team they, Mack specifically, are very familiar with. Sean Miller’s Arizona Wildcats.
Mack worked on Miller’s staff at Xavier, then replaced Miller as head coach when Sean went to Arizona. We’ll get more into that later in the week, but for now, let’s take a look at these two teams.
