 NEW YORK (AP) - Jessie Sapp scored 23 points and No. 9 Georgetown tied a Big East tournament record with 17 3-pointers, fending off a second-half comeback to beat Villanova 82-63 on Thursday in the second round.
Jonathan Wallace hit five 3s and had 19 of his 20 points in the first half for the defending champion Hoyas (26-4), who improved to 13-0 when they have the top seed in the conference tournament.
They advance to play either fourth-seeded Connecticut or No. 5 seed West Virginia in the semifinals on Friday.
