Set to return to Xavier Milicevic will return to Xavier for the 2026-27 season, per Joe Tipton of On3.

Impact Milicevic is set to return to the Musketeers for another season after a breakout sophomore campaign. Coming off a quiet freshman year at New Mexico, he transferred to Xavier this past offseason and blossomed into an every-game starter, averaging 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists. With Milicevic returning, Xavier locks down a key piece of its frontcourt for the 2026-27 season.

He only attempted 11 field goals and hit four three-pointers, making this one of his most efficient games of the season. Next up he faces an incredibly difficult matchup versus UConn in the quarterfinal Thursday, a team he totaled just four points against in two matchups this season.

Impact Milicevic had another productive outing Wednesday as he chipped in 17 points and made three triples in the loss to Providence. He also grabbed eight rebounds for just the fourth time this season, making this one of his best outings of the season. He's been playing well as of late, and he'll look to keep that going Saturday versus Georgetown.

Scores 20 versus Villanova Milicevic recorded 20 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Tuesday's 92-89 OT loss to Villanova.

Impact Milicevic nearly recorded his first double-double of the season Tuesday, falling one rebound shy of that mark. Still, he scored 20 points for the fifth time this season and set season highs in rebounds (nine), assists (five) and blocks (three). Unfortunately, he also set a season high with four turnovers, but that is a small sacrifice for what was otherwise his best performance of the season thus far. He'll look to keep that momentum going Saturday at Butler.

Impact Milicevic scored 13 points in Monday's overtime loss, the seventh time he's scored at least 10 points in his last eight apperances. He shot under 50 percent from the field in his fourth consecutive game though, and he only hit two of his four attempts from the free throw line. He contributed well on the defensive end as well, recording four rebounds, two steals and one block during his 24 minutes on the court.

Scores 15 in Wednesday's loss Milicevic fouled out of Wednesday's 94-93 loss to Creighton after recording 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 28 minutes.

Impact Milicevic had another solid scoring outing, his third consecutive game with at least 14 points. He shot 60 percent from the field and hit one of his two three-point attempts. He picked up his fifth foul with under two minutes left in the second half, so he was forced to miss the final stretch of the game where his team let the game slip away. He's now fouled out in four of the last five games, a concerning trend considering he only fouled out once across the first 14 games of the season.

Austin Swartz's Game-Winner Lifts Creighton Over Xavier

Excellent in Saturday's win Milicevic amassed 22 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 97-84 win over Providence.

Impact Milicevic, who had not scored double digit points since Dec. 12, put up his best performance of the season in Saturday's win. He scored a season-high 22 points on just 12 field goal attempts, thanks in large part to him hitting four of five shots from beyond the arc. He also tied a season high with eight rebounds, nearly double his average this season. Although he's had a difficult time adjusting to Big East play, he showed vast improvement in Saturday's win and will look to keep that momentum going into Wednesday contest versus Butler.
