Marquette hopes to repeat history versus No. 1 Villanova

MILWAUKEE -- Villanova's last visit to Milwaukee did not go well.

The Wildcats, ranked No. 1 in the country, led by 17 points but allowed a 19-4 run in the final minutes as Marquette rallied for a 74-72 victory -- the school's first against a top-ranked opponent.

When the teams face off again Sunday afternoon at the Bradley Center, the Wildcats -- with the same 19-1 record they had a year ago against the Golden Eagles -- will try to prevent history from repeating itself and maintain their one-game lead over No. 8 Xavier atop the Big East Conference standings.
