After winning their Big East opener Thursday afternoon at St. John’s, Creighton returns home to take on 16th-ranked Villanova on Saturday in the nightcap of the league’s five-game tipoff marathon on FS1. The Wildcats come into the game with an 11-2 record, with their only two losses coming to a pair of top-five opponents in Virginia and Oklahoma, and blew #6 Xavier out of the gym on Thursday with a 95-64 win.
Villanova was very good in that game, making 13-25 from three-point range, with seven of them courtesy of senior guard Ryan Arcidiacano. Their huge win was overshadowed by an early injury, of course.
