Xavier Tales: Great Stories from Musketeers Basketball, the first-ever book on the Musketeers, covers roughly 60 years of Xavier University basketball, from coach Lew Hirt (1946-51) to Sean Miller, who took over the program in 2004.
Michael Perry, a former Cincinnati Enquirer sports editor and Xavier basketball beat reporter, interviewed more than 70 former players, coaches and staff to deliver a comprehensive look at the rise of the program.
Through the voices of some of the most notable Musketeers of all time, this book chronicles how Xavier became one of the most consistent winners in Division I basketball, starting its steady climb under coach Bob Staak, perhaps one of the program's unsung heroes.
There are anecdotes from the locker room, road trips and grueling practices. Most of all, you'll hear about some of the more memorable games in school history, and get to know some of the endearing personalities that have brought the program acclaim for its success on the court and in the classroom.
