Richard Pitino Jr is the next head coach.

[Xavier]

I wouldn’t bank on Dent/Conwell. I’m still excited about the players he has recruited. I said throughout the year I think X needs to pivot to a defensive team first. D/rebounding. For 2 reasons- I was tired of watching X get pushed around so much, and in this portal era it is hard to compete with the top teams year in year out for the best offensive guys. Might need a different approach to give us the best chance.

NM hadn’t made the tournament in 10 years before he arrived. They did each of the past two years. While everyone agrees the MW chokes come tournament time, they’ve sent a lot of teams the past two years and NM won a regular season and tournament championship in those years. Objectively- NM has been better than Xavier the past two seasons as well.


Any word if Mario leaves? And I think at least a portion of the big donors were surprised and wanted Mack. Doesn’t seem like they were as involved, or at the very least they were and Greg still went after Pitino.
