The 2019–20 Xavier Musketeers men's basketball team represented Xavier University during the 2019–20 NCAA Division I men's basketball season as a member of the Big East Conference. Led by second-year head coach Travis Steele, they played their home games at the Cintas Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. They finished the season 19–13, 8–10 in Big East play to finish in a tie for sixth place. They lost in the first round of the Big East tournament to DePaul. Soon thereafter, all postseason tournaments were canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic which effectively ended their season.
The Musketeers finished the 2018–19 season 19–16, 9–9 in Big East play to finish in third place.[1] They defeated Creighton in the quarterfinals before losing to Villanova in the semifinals of the Big East tournament. The Musketeers failed to receive a bid to a postseason tournament.[2]
