Despite trailing early, Villanova triumphed over Providence on Saturday.
The Wildcats defeated the Friars 71-56 at Finneran Pavilion, improving to 10-1 in the process. They have yet to feel the heat in Big East play, as they are a perfect 5-0 and are rolling even after pausing due to COVID-19 issues.
‘Nova picked up four double-figure performances on the afternoon. Collin Gillespie and Justin Moore led with 15 points apiece, while Caleb Daniels and Jermaine Samuels chipped in 12 and 10. It was your standard, all-around good performance for Villanova, although their shooting was poorish.
