Reactions: Villanova's Jay Wright expected to retire, per reports
Jay Wright, the Villanova Wildcats' head coach since 2001, is expected to retire, per multiple reports Wednesday night.
Wright, 60, won national titles at Nova in 2016 and 2018. The Final Four he led the Wildcats to this past season was his fourth in 21 seasons as their head coach.
Since Xavier joined Villanova in the Big East in July 2013, the Musketeers' record against the Wildcats was 2-16. XU's only wins against Wright came Feb. 24, 2016, with top-ranked Nova falling 90-83 at Cintas Center, and exactly three years later - with unranked Xavier knocking off No. 17 VU 66-54.
Xavier was still in the A-10 - coached by Sean Miller - when it defeated Wright and Villanova in 2006 in St. Thomas.
