Wildcats Handle Golden Eagles With Ease

2/4/2015

0 Comments

 
Villanova rode a hot start in the first half in the 70-52 victory over Marquette, the first matchup between the two teams this season.  Arcidiacono led all scorers with 18 points, while JaJuan Johnson led Marquette with 10 points himself.
As it has been all season long, it was a balanced scoring effort from the Wildcats, with 5 players scoring at least 10 points.  Hilliard finished with 13 points and Pinkston had 10, a good contribution from the seniors.  Off the bench, Booth had 10 points, while Hart had 11.  

Neither team shot the ball particularly well from the field; Villanova shot 37% while Marquette went 35% from the field.  However, the Wildcats took advantage of their opportunities from three point territory and the free throw line.  The Golden Eagles went 6-16 from three and 4-7 from the free throw line, while the Wildcats went 11-26 and 13-19, respectively.  The teams were near even in rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and turnovers, but the Wildcat offense was able to convert their opportunities more often early on. 


The win tonight marks the 20th of the year for Villanova, and their 7th in Big East play.  With just 9 games left, each game gives the Wildcats a better chance at securing a better seed in the NCAA Tournament.  A win against Georgetown on Saturday would go a long way in making that happen.
