Despite getting into some trouble, Villanova weaved their way into the win column.
The Villanova Wildcats survived their first week as the No. 1 team in the country despite a raucous effort by the St. John's Red Storm.
The Red Storm pushed the Wildcats to the limit in the first half, entering the break with just a one-point deficit. As they often do though, Villanova eventually would push through and break away from the pack. In the end, 'Nova proved to be victorious, netting a win by the score of 73-63.
