Georgetown Hoyas @ Villanova Wildcats
(4) VILLANOVA 75, (17) GEORGETOWN 65
VILLANOVA, Pennsylvania (Ticker) -- Against top-ranked
Connecticut, talented guards Kyle Lowry and Allan Ray led the
way. On Sunday, Randy Foye joined in the fun.
Foye scored 12 of his 22 points over a seven-minute span in the
second half and Lowry and Ray hit two clutch shots apiece late
as fourth-ranked Villanova posted a 75-65 victory over No. 17
Georgetown.
Lowry scored 16 of his 18 points in the first half and Ray
knocked down five 3-pointers after intermission en route to 25
points for the game as the Wildcats (21-2, 11-1 Big East) dumped
Connecticut, 69-64, on Monday.
Foye, who was held to 10 points on 3-of-10 shooting against the
Huskies, took over this one after Jeff Green nailed a 3-pointer
to give Georgetown a 38-37 lead four minutes into the second
half. The senior guard sparked a 20-9 run with three free
throws, a shot from the arc and three driving layups to give
Villanova a 57-47 edge with eight minutes left.
The Hoyas (17-7, 8-5) pulled within two and missed a 3-pointer
for the lead with 5 1/2 minutes to go before Foye's sidekicks
picked up the slack. Lowry converted a three-point play and
another acrobatic drive and Ray drained two shots from the arc
and added a free throw to extend the lead to 71-62 with 1:48
left.
Despite giving up several inches to the Hoyas' frontline, the
Wildcats held their own on the boards. Villanova held a 31-30
edge on the glass, scored 17 points off 10 Georgetown turnovers
and had just three itself, including none after the
intermission.
Foye shot 8-of-16 from the floor and grabbed eight rebounds.
Ray scored 20 points on 6-of-14 shooting and Lowry finished with
13 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals. Mike
Nardi added 11 as Villanova recorded its second 10-game winning
streak this season.
Roy Hibbard, a 7-2 center, had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the
Hoyas, who lost a season-high third straight game. Ashanti
Cook added 16 points and Green 15.
The Wildcats, who made 7-of-9 3-pointers during their
second-half contest in the win over Connecticut, got off to a
hot start from the arc Sunday. They made their first six
3-pointers and took a 26-20 edge with 8:47 left in the first
half.
But Georgetown tightened up and Villanova missed its next 11
from the arc and settled for a 30-28 advantage at the break.
The Wildcats finished 12-of-27 from the arc.
