Villanova once again used hot shooting (from beyond the arc) and a great second half to take down the Providence Friars 76-68.
Darryl Reynolds got the start in place of Daniel Ochefu, yet Ochefu still saw some time on the court. He would pick up 3 fouls in the first half. Even with all this, `Nova was able to win the rebounding battle on the day.
Ryan Arcidiacono got the game off to a hot start scoring on two layups and a banked three pointer. The Friars would not fall behind easily thanks to Rodney Bullock and Drew Edwards.
