8:57 pm eastern time: Game just ended.  Villanova Wildcats defeat Penn Quakers 103-65.  Some notes on the game below.

1. Cats came out strong tonight, unlike the other night against Fairleigh Dickinson, jumping out to quick 15 point lead, which all but deflated any hopes Penn had of an upset
2. Halftime score: 55-25
3. Nova shot an absurd 58% from the field, 51% from downtown, and 78% from the free throw line for the game, while holding the Quakers to 36% from the field and 29% from 3 point range
4. Six Villanova players scored in double figures: Malik Wayns (very impressive thus far) with 16, Corey Stokes, Scottie Reynolds, and Taylor King all with 14, Corey Fisher with 13, and Antonio Pena with 12 
5. Darren Smith had 21 for Penn, but sharpshooter Tyler Bernardini put up a goose egg (credit Corey Stokes for shutting him down)
6. Most important stat of the game aside from those shooting percentages: Cats outrebounded Penn 41-18
