All seven BIG EAST teams were victorious on Saturday, which pushed the league’s overall record to 95-25 (.792) going into Sunday. It’s a pleasant challenge to cram as much we can into our “Minute.”
Early in the day, Villanova knocked off No. 1 Kansas 56-55 at a sold-out Wells Fargo Center in the BIG EAST-Big 12 Battle. Jermaine Samuels buried a 3-pointer with 15 seconds left and the Wildcats forced an off-balance Kansas shot as time expired. Samuels scored a team-high 15 points. Collin Gillespie, who made a critical steal and layup with 1:06 remaining, added 12 points.
