The Wildcats have lost four of their last five games in Big East play. Jordan Longino paced Villanova with a game-high 27 points.

Villanova has shown its ability to stand up against nationally ranked teams this season, but No. 10 Marquette proved too much for Villanova, overpowering the Wildcats 87-74 on Friday night in Milwaukee.

Since suffering an upset loss to Xavier a week ago, Marquette brought the heat in its first game back at home since then. The Golden Eagles sent double teams and pressure frequently and just always seemed to be a few steps ahead of Villanova at nearly every turn of the game.
