OMAHA – The inability to put together a complete game at both ends of the floor once again plagued Xavier Sunday against Creighton at the CHI Health Center Omaha, and for as good as Xavier's defense has looked at times this season, the Musketeers couldn't do much to slow down Creighton's high-powered offense in a 77-66 loss that sends Xavier home at 13-7 overall and 2-5 in the Big East Conference.
Xavier got off to an awful start with five turnovers and just two field goals in the first seven minutes Sunday and was never really able to close the gap.
