Scottie Leads ‘Nova in Win over St. John’s
Scottie Reynolds led the way with 19 points on 6 of 12 shooting as Villanova defeated St. John’s 81-71 en route to the school’s best start since 1950-51.
The 18-1 start includes a 7-0 start in Big East Conference play which has never been accomplished before by the Wildcats.
‘Nova overcame an 11 point deficit late in the first half to be down only 1 point at the intermission. Whatever Jay said to the squad at the half, the team took it to heart. A combination of increased defensive pressure and cold shooting saw St. John’s only shoot 11-38 (29%) from the field in the second 20 minutes.
Corey Fisher added 18 points for ‘Nova and freshman Maalik Wayns contributed 16 with both shooting 5-8 from the floor. Read more
