The Villanova Wildcats’ barnstorming tour through the Big 5 continued on Sunday afternoon. Despite a whale of an effort from the La Salle Explorers, the Wildcats held steady. They notched their 10th win of the season and 21st straight Big 5 win with a 77-68 result over the Explorers.
La Salle gave Villanova just about all they could handle. In Sunday’s game, the Explorers and Wildcats changed leads 13 times and the game was tied eight times. La Salle actually held the lead at the half, 38-37, but were outscored 40-30 in the final 20 minutes.
