Second-ranked Villanova has won games in a variety of ways this season.
In the Wildcats' 108-67 victory over St. John's in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament, they found a new formula with a surge of scoring from their bench. Starting guard Mikal Bridges left after one minute with a stomach virus and the bench responded with 52 points in the 41-point win.
Top-seeded Villanova (29-3) will now face fifth-seeded Seton Hall in the semifinals on Friday night at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Pirates (21-10) defeated fourth-seeded Marquette 82-76 to set up a rematch with the Wildcats.
