The captain of the Musketeers led the school to its best regular season in school history. Could he win his first Big East coach of the year honor?
For the better part of 25 years, Chris Mack has been Xavier basketball. From being a redshirt transfer on his hometown basketball team, to serving as an assistant under the late Skip Prosser and Sean Miller, to becoming captain of the ship, there's probably not a man who exemplifies what it means to be an Xavier Musketeer more than Chris Mack.
A year removed from receiving a contract extension that will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2020-21 season, Mack took his most talented team thus far to a 26-4 record, tying a program record for wins in a season, and finished second in the Big East, their highest finish since joining the conference.
