The Bulls keep it close through the first half; we lead 41-38 at the break before pulling away in the second period. Despite a decent points total, we aren't sharp offensively, and we manage to win anyway.

Avery Sullivan scores 21 for us, and Corey Hicks adds 20. Sullivan grabs 12 rebounds, and Lowell Welter compensates for his 2-for-12 shooting by claiming 15 boards.
Record: 15-0, 3-0.

We bounce back with an assertive performance in Chicago, which features Corey Hicks scoring the 1000th point of his Villanova career.

Five Wildcats score in double figures (Hicks 20, Avery Sullivan 19, Asher Wise 18, Lowell Welter 13, Tony Ezell 12). Sully adds 8 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Blake Norton contributes with 9 points and 6 helpers.

West Virginia keeps winning, too, and we share the Big East lead with the Mountaineers.
Record: 16-0 (4-0).

The Huskies are a solid team, and they're always hard to beat at home. Tonight, we open up a nice lead and let them claw their way back into the game before we close it out.

It's another big night for Corey Hicks. The senior guard goes 8-for-9 from three point range and scores 35 points, tying Jacob Allen for the highest single game total of the Graham Sims era.

However, as significant as Corey's achievement is, he has to yield the brightest spotlight to Avery Sullivan. Avery finishes with 26 rebounds. His mark is a new Villanova and Big East record, and ties Navy's Stephen Collins for #2 all-time on the national leader board. The national record is 29, held by Derek Dee of Long Beach State.

Sullivan also scores 13 points, and Lowell Welter finishes with 11 rebounds.
Record: 17-0 (5-0).

Another victory, on the road against a conference opponent, by an almost identical score. Along the way, Avery Sullivan scores the 1000th point of his Wildcat career.

Sullivan posts his second dominant performance in a row: 27 points, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks. His points total is one shy of his career best. Asher Wise adds 15 points, and Lowell Welter joins Sullivan with a double-double (11p/10r). Blake Norton takes only one shot and misses it, but he hands out 7 assists.
Record: 18-0 (6-0).

We return to the Finneran Pavilion and make short work of our visitors from Milwaukee. Our defensive effort is excellent; the Golden Eagles shoot 31% overall, and make only 2 of 15 three-point tries.

Once again, Avery Sullivan is the star, with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and a block. Lowell Welter (13p/8r) plays well, too, and we hold the Marquette bigs to 10 points and 8 rebounds combined.

West Virginia slips up, losing 80-72 at DePaul. We're now in sole possession of the Big East lead.
Record: 19-0 (8-0).
