RJ Cole sunk the Villanova Wildcats on a bucket with five seconds and change to play. The UConn Huskies would then celebrate a 71-69 victory over the Top 10-ranked Wildcats, their first in the regular season since January 17, 2011.
Corey Fisher and Kemba Walker were the team’s leading scorers the last time UConn beat a Top-10 ranked Wildcat team. This time around, that honor goes to Collin Gillespie and Adama Sanogo. Sanogo led all scorers with 20 points on the evening. He went 8-for-14 from the field and shot 4-for-5 on free throws.
