No. 6 Villanova takes Big East, 77-70 over Xavier

CINCINNATI (AP) Xavier's raucous home court almost made up for the absence of the Musketeers' starting center against No. 6 Villanova.

Almost, but not quite.

Spurred by a standing-room only crowd of 10,340 at Cintas Center, Xavier needed just 64 seconds to cut a 12-point lead to three, but the Wildcats got two free throws each from Josh Hart and James Bell in the final 19.4 seconds to escape with a 77-70 victory Thursday night.
