The Wildcats also set a record for most three-pointers made during a Division I regular season on Collin Gillispie's three midway through the first half. It was their 443rd of the year.

Villanova jumped out to a 22-4 lead with some hot early shooting, including six threes accounting for 18 of the points.

Seven different Villanova players made shots from behind the arc before intermission.

Brunson led all scorers at the break with 13 points.
