PHILADELPHIA -- Mikal Bridges rejected consecutive shots by Roddy Peters in the lane, producing "oohs" from the crowd.
And No. 5 Villanova wasn't done, not even on this possession.
Omari Spellman brought the fans and bench players to their feet by swatting Tevon Saddler's follow attempt from behind, giving the Wildcats three blocks in 8 seconds and setting the tone in a record-setting 113-77 rout of Nicholls on Tuesday night.
"That's what we should be fired up about," Bridges said. "defensive things, not offensive."
Bridges set career highs with 23 points, four blocks and five steals, and Villanova (2-0) set a school record by blocking 13 shots.
