Great news for Xavier Musketeers fans! Coach Sean Miller will be sticking around for a while. Xavier University announced on Thursday that they have extended Miller’s contract through the 2028-2029 season. This new deal adds two more years to his previous contract. Miller, who returned to Xavier in 2022 after coaching at Arizona for 12 seasons, is thrilled about the extension. He expressed his gratitude to Xavier University President Dr. Colleen Hanycz, Greg Christopher, and the entire Xavier community for their support. Miller is proud of the team’s performance last season and is excited about what the future holds.
Last season was a remarkable one for Miller and the Musketeers. They had one of the best seasons in school history, with a record of 27-10. They also tied the school record for Big East wins in a season, going 15-5. And let’s not forget their impressive run in the NCAA Tournament, where they made it to the Sweet 16. This success is a testament to Miller’s coaching skills and the hard work of the team.
This isn’t the first time Miller has led Xavier to the Sweet 16. In fact, in his last three seasons as head coach, he has taken the team to this stage of the tournament. Under Miller’s guidance, Xavier has also made it to the NCAA Tournament in five out of six years.
Vice President and Director of Athletics Greg Christopher is confident that Xavier Basketball is on the right track. He believes that the team is headed in the right direction and has a bright future ahead.
The upcoming season for the Musketeers is just around the corner. They will kick off their 2023-24 season on November 6th against Robert Morris at the Cintas Center. And mark your calendars for the annual Crosstown Shootout on December 9th, where they will face off against the UC Bearcats.
So, Xavier fans, get ready for more exciting basketball action with Coach Sean Miller at the helm. With his contract extension, it’s clear that the Musketeers are committed to building a winning program and achieving even greater success in the years to come.
