Gillespie seals Wildcat championship with late shots
Creighton 45, Villanova 44.
That’s what the jumbotron at Madison Square Garden read. The clock between the two scores ticked under the three-minute mark, and a sold-out crowd watched tensely as the Wildcats, once up by as many as eight, operated on offense. They needed a basket. Jay Wright turned to the guy he’s turned to all season to get it.
Justin Moore fired a pass to his left. Collin Gillespie, named Big East Player of the Year this week, took the ball and pumped.
