While both Xavier and Butler shared the court at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, they also shared a familiar face in Butler coach Thad Matta. The Butler alum began his career as a head coach with Butler in 2000. Following his short stint with the Bulldogs, he left for a job as head coach of Xavier from 2001-2004. After his time at Xavier concluded, Matta then left and coached at Ohio State for 13 seasons before returning to Butler, his alma mater, in 2022.
