The Wildcats received some not so warm news this Sunday morning regarding the status of their stalwart down low.

Villanova Wildcats senior center Daniel Ochefu has been ruled out for the No. 6 team in the country's matchup with the St. John's Red Storm this Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Ochefu, the 6-foot-11, 245-pound rim protector for the 'Cats who'd averaged 9.7 points and 8.3 rebounds coming into Sunday, suffered a concussion recently according to Delaware County Daily Times writer Terry Toohey. Toohey would go on to say that the big man suffered the concussion in practice on Friday and did not make the trip with the 'Cats to New York City.
