Villanova returned the favor to Creighton on Wednesday night in men’s hoops. A little over two weeks after the Bluejays beat the Wildcats by 20 in Omaha, Villanova handed the Jays a 75-41 loss in Philly. Justin Moore led the Cats with 22 points and Jermaine Samuels had 18 points and 7 rebounds. Nova Coach Jay Wright notched his 500th career coaching victory.

Creighton was led by 13 points from Alex O’Connell as they fall to 10-4 on the season and 2-1 in the Big East. Ryan Hawkins was held scoreless but pulled down five rebounds and had 3 assists.

Next up for the Jays is a Tuesday home game against Providence at 8:00 p.m.
