Pitino, 42, will replace Sean Miller, who left the Musketeers to become the head coach at Texas. Miller went 65-40 in his second stint at Xavier with two NCAA tournament bids. The Musketeers lost their first-round game versus Illinois in this month's tournament.

Richard Pitino, the son of Hall-of-Famer and St. John's head coach Rick Pitino, will be the next head coach of the Xavier Musketeers in the Big East.
