CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Less than a week after firing men’s head basketball coach John Brannen, the University of Cincinnati has picked his replacement.

UNC Greensboro’s Wes Miller has agreed in principle with UC to take over the men’s basketball program, according to Director of Athletics John Cunningham.

He will be introduced as the school’s 28th head coach during an 11 a.m. press conference on Friday at Fifth Third Arena.

Miller’s six-year contract is pending approval but the UC Board of Trustees, the school said in a release Wednesday night.

Miller, 38, played collegiately at James Madison University and the University of North Carolina.

He went 185-135 in 10 seasons at UNCG, leading the Spartans to two NCAA tournament appearances in the last three years, including a 2020 first-round loss as the 13 seed to Florida State.

I have observed Miller's teams in SoCon play the last few years and he will be a good hire for UC in terms of how he runs his program. The question will be UC expectations and if Miller can recruit well enough to satisfy those expectations
