For weeks, Chris Mack was visibly uncomfortable.
Usually, the Xavier head coach is affable and unflappable, but he’d become as publicly agitated as he’d ever been over talk of overtaking his friend, mentor and former coach Pete Gillen’s all-time head coaching wins record at the program.
The number to eclipse was 202, and Mack bobbed and weaved around questions of the wins record since the preseason.
