Steele was nearing the end of his fourth season at the helm of the Musketeers program. The timing of the firing comes after Xavier missed out the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season, while its postseason remains alive after taking down Cleveland State on Tuesday in the first round of the NIT. Assistant Jonas Hayes will serve as Xavier's interim coach for the remainder of the NIT. A national search for the next coach, meanwhile, is expected to begin immediately. "I want to thank Travis and his staff for their tireless efforts on behalf of the Xavier Basketball program," Xavier athletic director Greg Christopher said in a press release. "Travis led the team with the utmost character and in a first-class manner. He navigated us through a difficult time with Covid and always focused on what was best for our student-athletes. I have tremendous respect for Travis, and he's been a part of Xavier Basketball for more than a decade, playing an important role in some of the program's greatest accomplishments. We collectively appreciate all that Travis has given to Xavier and wish him the best moving forward." Steele in four seasons was unable to lead Xavier to an NCAA Tournament berth (though the program may have snuck in to the Big Dance in the year it was canceled because of the pandemic.) He finishes with a 70-50 record in that span, but only once -- in his first year -- did he finish in the top half of the Big East standings. A late-season collapse for Xavier did not help Steele's case to be retained for a fifth season after it lost seven of its final nine regular season games, dropping from a potential NCAA Tournament team to a No. 2 seed in the NIT. After making the NCAA Tournament in eight of nine seasons under Steele's predecessor, Chris Mack, a fifth season may have been a hard sell for the administration especially after struggles to close the regular season. Xavier's postseason run will continue this weekend in the second round of the NIT where it will face the winner between Florida and Rick Pitino's Iona Gaels. PLAY FOR A TRIP & A TRUCK!

Play Now 2022 MARCH MADNESS PREDICTIONS: NCAA BRACKET EXPERT PICKS AGAINST THE SPREAD, ODDS IN THURSDAY'S ROUND 1 GAMES A CLOSER LOOK AT THE FIRST ROUND GAMES ON THURSDAY'S SLATE OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT By Kyle Boone 11 hrs ago 4 min read * * * Watch Now: Officially speaking, the 2022 NCAA Tournament got underway earlier this week with the First Four games in Dayton, Ohio, across Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Unofficially, though, the real mayhem of March gets going Thursday and Friday as first-round tourney action takes place across the country. Between the two days, the field will shrunk in half from 64 to 32 teams as a (nearly) sun up to sun down schedule for the sport. It's part of what makes March Madness, well, March Madness. Getting some extra skin in the games may be what gets you in the tournament spirit, too. Below, I've called on the expertise of the college hoops team to shed some insight with picks straight up and against the spread for some of the top games on Thursday's extended slate. Our expert brackets may offer some help on this front as well. While surviving and advancing is clearly what matters for most, we care about whether these teams will cover their spreads, and we've tracked the season since November to be able to offer our own thoughts on every game. Be sure to stick with CBS Sports throughout the rest of the month for NCAA Tournament coverage through the end of the Final Four. Let's take a look at our expert picks as first round games get underway Thursday. Odds via Caesars Sportsbook | All times Eastern FEATURED NCAA TOURNAMENT PICKS (6) COLORADO STATE VS. (11) MICHIGAN Thursday, 12:15 p.m. | CBS, March Madness Live: The loss of starting point guard DeVante' Jones (concussion) for at least Michigan's first-round game against Colorado State is a significant one. He's the team's assist leader, third-leading scorer and has been big down the stretch. But I'm still taking the No. 11 over No. 6 in this matchup. Michigan's frontcourt between Hunter Dickinson and Moussa Diabate is a huge mismatch. Can't see Colorado State stopping them consistently enough, though I do expect Rams star David Roddy to keep this one fairly close. Pick: Michigan -1.5 ParrishNorlanderPalmBooneCobbPatterson Spread CSU +1.5 MICH -1.5 CSU +1.5 MICH -1.5 CSU +1.5 CSU +1.5 Straight up CSU MICH CSU MICH CSU CSU (4) PROVIDENCE VS. (13) SOUTH DAKOTA STATE Thursday, 12:40 p.m. | truTV, March Madness Live: Since 2010, the top 3-point shooting team in the field has advanced at least one round in every year but two. That should bode well for South Dakota State, which ranks No. 1 in the country in 3-point shooting percentage. Providence is no slouch -- it won the Big East regular season and plays a physical style that will muck this game up -- but I like the Jackrabbits to advance as an underdog. Pick: South Dakota State +2 ParrishNorlanderPalmBooneCobbPatterson Spread SDST +2 SDST +2 SDST +2 SDST +2 PROV -2 PROV -2 Straight up SDST SDST SDST SDST PROV PROV (5) IOWA VS. (12) RICHMOND Thursday, 3:10 p.m. | truTV, March Madness Live: Iowa is arguably the hottest team in the country entering the NCAA Tournament. Coming off a Big Ten Tournament title, the Hawkeyes have won 12 of their last 14 games and have found a groove as Keegan Murray has blossomed from a star to a superstar. Murray averaged 26 points per game as Iowa won four games in four days to clinch the conference tourney title, and this team seems battle-tested and perfectly positioned to continue its incredible March with a dominant win in Round 1. Pick: Iowa -10.5 ParrishNorlanderPalmBooneCobbPatterson Spread IOWA -10.5 IOWA -10.5 IOWA -10.5 IOWA -10.5 IOWA -10.5 IOWA -10.5 Straight up IOWA IOWA IOWA IOWA IOWA IOWA (1) GONZAGA VS. (16) GEORGIA STATE Thursday, 4:15 p.m. | TNT, March Madness Live: This is a big line to cover, even for the No. 1 overall seed in Gonzaga. But I care not and don't think you should, either. Its average scoring margin on the season was a whopping 22.5 points, and that factored in games against Duke, UCLA, Alabama and other top schools. The Zags will roll, and I expect they will roll big. Pick: Gonzaga -23 ParrishNorlanderPalmBooneCobbPatterson Spread ZAGS -23 ZAGS -23 ZAGS -23 ZAGS -23 GAST +23 GAST +23 Straight up ZAGS ZAGS ZAGS ZAGS ZAGS ZAGS (5) UCONN VS. (12) NEW MEXICO STATE Thursday, 6:50 p.m. | TNT, March Madness Live: I don't necessarily love New Mexico State as an underdog on the moneyline in this one, but I do think it can cover the spread. The Aggies this season went 26-6 overall and half of those losses were by four or fewer points. They're a tough, resilient bunch who are well-coached under Chris Jans and have the personnel to give UConn a run for its money. Pick: New Mexico State +6.5 ParrishNorlanderPalmBooneCobbPatterson Spread NMST +6.5 NMST +6.5 UCONN -6.5 NMST +6.5 NMST +6.5 UCONN -6.5 Straight up UCONN UCONN UCONN UCONN UCONN UCONN (7) MURRAY STATE VS. (10) SAN FRANCISCO Thursday, 9:40 p.m. | CBS, March Madness Live: San Francisco's a quality squad that all season has put up real fights, including against Gonzaga in WCC play and against MVC tourney champ Loyola-Chicago. But Murray State's a 30-2 club that hasn't lost since Dec. 22 and can beat you inside and out with good balance on both sides of the ball. I'll lay the point here with the Racers. Pick: Murray State -1 ParrishNorlanderPalmBooneCobbPatterson Spread MURST -1 MURST -1 MURST -1 MURST -1 MURST -1 MURST -1 Straight up MURST MURST MURST MURST MURST MURST Get every pick, every play, every upset and fill out your bracket with our help!
