Xavier faces Atlantic Sun Conference champion Kennesaw State on Friday, March 17 in the first round of the Midwest Region of the NCAA tournament in Greensboro, S.C. The game will be live streamed on Sling, which offers half off the first month.

When coach Sean Miller returned to Xavier, he made one thing clear to his players: He didn’t have any patience for losing.

In just his second season back at the helm, Miller has restored Xavier’s status as a national power heading into the NCAA Tournament. The Musketeers (25-9) are back in the tourney for the first time since 2018 as the No. 3 seed in the Midwest Region.

The Musketeers have persevered this season despite losing leading scorer Zach Freemantle, who went down with a season-ending foot injury in late January. Still, Xavier won five of its final six games.
