Eric Dixon’s 3 for sixth-seeded Villanova cut lead to 65-56 with 4:43 left and perked up the Villanova fans at the Garden after a Creighton had dominated the second half. In need of a championship run at the Garden to extend their NCAA Tournament streak to 10 appearances, the Wildcats couldn’t match up with the 7-foot-1 Kalkbrenner on the defensive end and had a hard time finishing at the rim with him lurking in the paint.The Bluejays took a 32-23 lead at half behind Kalbrenner’s 10 points and a personal nine-point run from Trey Alexander, who made three consecutive 3s.
