Briefly: Chris Mack leaving Xavier to coach Louisville

Louisville found its new men's basketball coach, tapping Xavier's Chris Mack to guide the program out of the turbulence in which the Cardinals were linked to a federal investigation.

Multiple reports Tuesday said the school has hired Mack, and a person familiar with the situation confirmed Mack is Louisville's choice.

Mack led the Musketeers to a 29-6 record and the school's first No. 1 tournament seeding this season, but Xavier was upset in the second round by Florida State. Mack was 215-97 in nine seasons at his alma mater with eight NCAA tournament appearances and a trip to last year's Elite Eight.

Mack, 48, said in a tweet Tuesday that "this situation offered a new and unique challenge that I could not turn down." He did not mention Louisville.
