The Musketeers are very good scorers, but they leave plenty to be desired when it comes to defense. Miscues have been a problem for the Musketeers especially with their high-pace of play on offense. Six players are averaging over one turnover per game. Plenty of turnovers have also led to more opportunities for opponents to score. Xavier is allowing 70.5 points per game this season.
