VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Villanova's starting lineup looked a little odd Saturday night in what wound up as a 13-point victory over St. John's.
Eric Paschall started in place of Kris Jenkins, the hero of last year's national championship game with a game-winning 3-pointer to defeat North Carolina. Jenkins entered the lineup slightly more than three minutes into the game.
Coach Jay Wright said that it wasn't a teaching point, rather just a change of pace to shake Jenkins out of a shooting drought.
Jenkins responded with 15 points, five rebounds and four assists.
