 PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Villanova went inside in the first half and stayed outside in the second. Add some solid defense and an offensive boost from an unlikely source, and the Wildcats came up with a way to beat No. 1 Connecticut.
Allan Ray keyed the Wildcats' 7-for-9 effort from 3-point range in the second half and fourth-ranked Villanova beat the Huskies 69-64 Monday night, its first victory over a top-ranked team in nearly 11 years.
"It was a big test for us. UConn was a great team," said Ray, who had 19 of his 25 points in the second half. "A lot of teams didn't think we were going to win. It was just a great test for us to go out and see where we were at."
