On one of the coldest days in South Philadelphia, Villanova came home in front of a large crowd at Wells Fargo Center to take on St. Johns after receiving the No. 1 ranking in the AP and Coaches Polls. Chris Mullin and his squad wanted revenge after a previous blowout in their last meeting in Madison Square Garden back in January, but couldn't come away with a victory. Villanova won 73-63 behind Daniel Ochefu's career-high 25 points.
The first half was very entertaining as both teams played really tough defense by forcing a total of 14 turnovers (7 for each team).
