No. 9 Villanova beats Georgetown 76-63 in Big East opener

Collin Gillespie and Caleb Daniels each hit five 3-pointers and scored 18 points to lead No. 9 Villanova past Georgetown 76-63 on Friday night in the Big East opener for both teams. The game matched the preseason favorite Wildcats against a Hoyas team picked to finish at the bottom - but without fans and on unusual turf - it had the competitive feel for about 30 minutes of a conference tourney game in March. The Wildcats (5-1) trailed by 18 early in the first half at Georgetown's empty on-campus gym - a surprising deficit considering VU entered as 11.5-point road favorites - until they got 3-point happy and showed again why they are the team to beat in the Big East.
