Villanova rides momentum todefeat Creighton 85-71

Josh Hart and Daniel Ochefu attack the paint and lead the way for Villanova's second Big East conference victory.

Throughout the first 13 games of the season, the Wildcats have both lived and died by the three. But for the second Big East conference matchup, a visit to Omaha to take on the Creighton Bluejays, Villanova made a concerted effort to attack the basket, scoring a season-high 44 points in the paint en route to a 85-71 road victory.

The dynamic duo of Josh Hart and Daniel Ochefu bodied the smaller Creighton frontcourt throughout the game, shooting a combined 19-24 from the field and scoring 44 of the team's 85 points.
