In Wednesday BIG EAST action, Xavier and Creighton remained unbeaten on their home floors while Villanova put together one of its best games of the season in a win on the road.
No. 11 Xavier defeated St. John’s 88-82 at a sold-out Cintas Center as coach Chris Mack earned his 203rd career win, becoming the school’s all-time leader in victories. Creighton got out of the gate quickly with a 20-4 spurt against No. 19 Seton Hall and never trailed in an 80-63 win at a full CenturyLink Center. No. 1 Villanova was firing on all cylinders in an 88-56 win at Georgetown.
