Wildcats Survive Red Storm Attack

1/11/2014

Villanova was able to go into Madison Square Garden and defeat a motivated St. John's squad 74-67.  Jayvaughn Pinkston led the way for the Wildcats, scoring 15 points and grabbing 10 rebounds in his 37 minutes of play, while also adding two steals and some terrific defense along the way.
Nova had some great all around performances from a few other members of their team as well.  James Bell was only able to finish with four points, but matched Pinkston's rebounding effort with 10 boards of his own.  Josh Hart had a wonderful game off the bench, and finished second in scoring for the Wildcats with 14 points in his 27 minutes of play.  Hart's spark off the bench played a big part in Nova securing the win.  Darrun Hilliard struggled shooting the ball today, going 1-10 from the field, but showed resiliency in finishing the game with 10 points.  Anyone can put up points when their shot is going for them that day, but it takes a talented player to be able to contribute even when his shot is off.  Hilliard also finished with four rebounds, three assists and two blocks, contributing a little from everywhere on the floor.

Today's win improves Villanova's record to 4-0 in conference play this season, and brings the Wildcats' record to 15-1 on the year.  They are one win ahead of Creighton and Xavier (both 3-0 as of this publishing) for first in the Big East's early standings and are the odds on favorite right now to win the conference in the new Big East's first year.

Next Game: Saturday, January 18th vs. Depaul 4pm
