No. 5 Villanova blasts Marquette 85-68 for 6th straight win December 24, 2020 GMT MILWAUKEE (AP) — Collin Gillespie’s accuracy and Villanova’s efficiency assured that the Wildcats wouldn’t join the list of Marquette’s highly-ranked victims. Gillespie scored 22 points and sank six 3-pointers as No. 5 Villanova routed Marquette 85-68 for its sixth consecutive victory Wednesday night. “I was getting open shots, and guys were finding me,” said Gillespie, who went 6 of 11 from 3-point range. “Credit to my teammates for finding me. I was just playing off my jump shot.” Marquette (5-5, 1-3 Big East) was seeking to beat a top-10 team for the third time this season. The Golden Eagles had beaten then-No. 4 Wisconsin 67-65 on Dec. 4 and topped then-No.9 Creighton 89-84 on Dec. 14. Wisconsin is now ninth and Creighton is 13th.
