Daily News | Scouting Creighton, Villanova’s next Big East tournament foe
NEW YORK — Sixth-seeded Villanova dominated No. 11 seed Georgetown, 80-48, on Wednesday night, earning a matchup with No. 3 seed Creighton on Thursday . The teams split the season series; Creighton won, 66-61, on Feb. 11 in Omaha, Neb., before Villanova cruised, 79-67, three weeks later.‘Nobody wants to see that team in the Garden’
Villanova is playing its best basketball at the right time. The Wildcats have won seven of nine, but they also have the pressure of needing three more wins at Madison Square Garden to play in the NCAA Tournament. In Villanova’s last 17 games, excluding the Creighton matchups, Dixon attempted 25 threes. In the two games with the Bluejays, Dixon averaged seven per game.
“I think my teammates do a good job of finding shots that I’m comfortable with,” Dixon said after Wednesday’s win. He added that he’s not necessarily expecting to take more threes than usual against Creighton, but he’s comfortable with it if that’s what happens.
