CINCINNATI (AP) — Justin Moore scored 25 points to give Villanova a 64-63 win over No. 16 Xavier for its biggest victory under first-year head coach Kyle Neptune. Cam Whitmore had 11 points for the Wildcats (14-14, 8-9 Big East) who dealt a big blow to the Musketeers’ Big East title hopes. Souley Boum led the Musketeers (20-8, 12-5 Big East) with 17 points. The Musketeers beat Villanova 88-80 on Jan. 7. It was their first true road win in the series since the 1955-56 season, but they fell short of a series sweep at home.
