Takeaways: Turnovers doom Xavier University in its Big East home opener against Seton Hall

At the Xavier University men's basketball team's pregame press conference ahead of Wednesday's visit from Seton Hall, forward Naji Marshall spoke about the importance of playing a full 40 minutes.

The Musketeers looked well on their way to doing that until the Pirates hijacked the final 10 minutes and escaped Cintas Center with an 80-70 win.

After the game, Xavier was understandably frustrated.

The Musketeers felt like they helped beat themselves and let a coveted conference win slip right through their fingers.

"We let one slip away, that's how frustrated I am," said Xavier guard Paul Scruggs, who was a bright spot with a team-high 22 points.
