Wildcats Survive First Half Scare From Blue Demons

1/31/2015

1 Comment

 
After a scoreless first half, Ryan Arcidiacono bounced back in a huge way in the second half, scoring all 18 of his points and leading the Wildcats to the 68-55 victory.  Arcidiacono led all scorers with his 18 points on 5-10 shooting.  Billy Garrett Jr. led DePaul in scoring with 14 points.
DePaul was perfect in taking care of the ball early on, not committing a single turnover in the game's first ten minutes.  This allowed the Blue Demons to take the early lead.  However, Villanova's pressure on defense allowed the Wildcats to not only catch up, but win the game by a comfortable margin.  The Wildcats had 6 steals in the game, with 3 coming from Hilliard, as opposed to just one steal for DePaul.

Villanova also dominated on the boards, out-rebounding the Blue Demons 35-18.  In fact, the Wildcats were able to corral 11 offensive rebounds, while the Blue Demons had just 14 defensive rebounds.  When a shot went up for the Wildcats, there was a good chance they would get another opportunity that possession if they didn't make it.  

The Wildcats also dominated the Blue Demons from the free throw line.  Villanova went 23-27 from the line, good for 85%, while DePaul went just 9-16, good for 56%.  Being able to get that many easy points in a game is such an advantage, and it helped propel the Wildcats to victory.
