Takeaways: Xavier basketball finds winning form in the second half against Kent State

The primary objective still hasn't changed for Xavier's men's basketball team – put all the pieces together for a full 40 minutes.

That still hasn't happened through two games, but on Friday night at Cintas Center against Kent State, the Musketeers found that winning form in the second half against a Golden Flashes team that should win a lot of games this season.

The second frame on Friday was preceded by a sloppy first half, highlighted by 13 turnovers. The Musketeers need to take care of the basketball and start games better, but the way they finished was impressive.
