Scouting Siena: No. 19 Xavier shoots for a 2-0 start Friday when the Saints visit

Travis Steele and his players weren't satisfied following a 76-57 season-opening win over Jacksonville on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019 Adam Baum, abaum@enquirer.com

Hours after Xavier's 76-57 season-opening win Tuesday over Jacksonville, the maintenance staff was at work cleaning up the nearly empty Cintas Center, while four flights above the court, the Musketeers were patiently waiting for the game film to arrive on their next opponent, the Siena Saints, in advance of Friday's meeting (7 p.m., FSN/Fox Sports Ohio) in Cintas.

Siena (1-0) won its opener Tuesday against American, 96-80. The Saints hit 11 3-pointers – from six different players – and had four players score in double figures, led by Jalen Pickett's 22 off the bench.
