Despite the Xavier Musketeers still holding a half-game lead in the standings, the Villanova Wildcats proved they’re still the kings of the Big East. Villanova again blew out their biggest competition for the title 95-79, led by 25 points from Mikal Bridges.
Villanova shook off their shooting slump by hitting 16 threes and shot over 60% from the floor. Six Wildcats finished in double digits in this one, and two players finished with more than 20 points. Donte DiVincenzo was just shy of of a triple double with 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 9 assists.
