CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Xavier head coach Sean Miller had a massive hole for a sharpshooter in his backcourt after losing both Souley Boum and Adam Kunkel to graduation. He's seemingly filled that void by landing Rice transfer Quincy Olivari.

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard has one year of eligibility remaining.

Olivari, Rice's all-time leader in three-point field goals made after his four years, is the third transfer for the Musketeers this offseason, joining point guard Dayvion McKnight and center Logan Duncomb.
