The first 10 minutes of last night’s game at Marquette were a challenge for No. 5/3 Villanova (8-1 overall, 3-0 BIG EAST).
“I thought we started the game off not really aggressive defensively,” stated Villanova head coach Jay Wright. “But I thought we became more aggressive later in the first half defensively. We were able to carry that over into the second half.”
Collin Gillespie led a balanced Nova attack, scoring 22 points. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl added 13 points and seven rebounds while Brandon Slatter gave the ‘Cats a lift off the bench, contributing 10 points and three rebounds.
