~ Eli Cain has posted gaudy numbers once again. The Willingboro, New Jersey native has 14 points in the first half, cruising against the usually stifling Villanova defense. He's succeeded at the perimeter mostly, shooting 3-for-4 from outside, looking every bit like he's played of late in this recent stretch of play.
~ Cain is helping lead the Blue Demons offensively. Through the first half, they're shooting 12-for-22 (.545) and 6-for-9 (.667) from the 3-point line. Their free throw shooting could be going better - just 60 percent on five attempts - but all in all, from an offensive standpoint, things are going pretty well.
