The Wildcats were led in the Round of 64 by Phil Booth (20 points) and fellow senior Eric Pachall (14), both of whom were members of the All-Big East first team this season. Booth has not been held below 13 points since Dec. 8 and made a 3-pointer in every game but one this season. Wright has tightened his rotation apparently, as only two reserves played versus Old Dominion and one of them, Joe Cremo, saw only three minutes of action, forcing all five starters to log at least 30 minutes. The clincher: Villanova is 37-18 ATS in their last 55 neutral site games.
