VILLANOVA SERVES ORANGE CRUSH AT WACHOVIA CENTER

February 7, 2009


Speaking of a Big East stunner. Jim Boehiem had to be absolutely stunned at his team's lack of effort on the defensive end as Syracuse watched Villanova score early and often against little resistance in what turned out to be a 102-85 blowout win for the Wildcats.
