Xavier University's men's basketball team will compete in the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament for the first time since 2018, when the team was a No. 1 seed.
This year, No. 3 seed Xavier (25-9) is playing No. 14 Kennesaw State (26-8) in the first round on Friday, March 17, in Greensboro, North Carolina. (12:40 p.m. on TruTV.)
