Wildcats Improve To 14-1 For Wright's 300th Win

1/7/2015

After suffering their first loss of the season to Seton Hall over the weekend, the Wildcats came together and started a new winning streak Tuesday night, defeating the Red Storm on the road by a score of 90-72.  The win marks Wright's 300th victory at Villanova.  Darrun Hilliard led the team in scoring with 21 points, while D'Angelo Harrison led all scorers with 25 points.
It was another all around effort on offense for the Wildcats, with six players going for at least 9 points (Hilliard, Ochefu, Ennis, Arcidiacono, Hart, Booth).  Ochefu had a good all-around game against short-shorts wearer Chris Obekpa, going for 13 points and 13 rebounds.  Arcidiacono was just one point shy of the double-double, scoring 9 and dishing out 10 assists.

The rebounding was a huge factor for the Wildcats, nearly doubling the rebounding output of St. John's (41-21).  Coming into the game, rebounding was arguably the weakest point of the Wildcats, ranking 136th out of 351 teams in the nation.  They are a top 35 offense and top 50 defense, according to ESPN, but they were lagging behind on rebounds.  They went out and focused on winning the battle on the boards, which they easily did. 

Passing was another huge reason for the win on Tuesday night.  Villanova, as a team, had 22 assists on the night, with St. John's dishing out just 8 assists themselves.  This year's Wildcats are known for their unselfish play, as seen from their assist totals.  They all trust each other to go out there and make the right play every time.  

Now at 2-1 in conference play, with wins over Butler and St. John's, the Wildcats are looking once again like the front runners to win the Big East this season.

But why did Dove Body Wash for Men only bring him in for one question?
