Xavier to open 2023-24 basketball season against Robert Morris at Cintas Center

The Xavier Musketeers are scheduled to open the 2023-24 season Nov. 6 against Robert Morris at Cintas Center, according to a report Tuesday via Twitter from CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.

The Colonials finished last season with a 16-17 record, 10-10 in the Horizon League. The university's Moon Township campus is about 25 miles from Xavier head coach Sean Miller's high school, Blackhawk, and about 20 miles from Pitt, where Miller played in college.

XU and RMU last met in Nov. 2012, with the Muskies winning 61-59 at Cintas Center. Chris Mack was Xavier's head coach at the time.
