Villanova Wildcats Notes
Justin Moore had 17 points (6-16 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes during Wednesday’s 78-65 loss to Saint Joseph’s. Moore has reached double figures in four consecutive games and seven of eight to begin the year, leading to a career-best 15.6 ppg scoring average for the fifth-year senior. Wednesday’s efficiency left a bit to be desired, though Moore and teammate Eric Dixon were the only reliable offensive options for Villanova in the upset loss.
Kansas State Wildcats Notes
David N’Guessan had 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday’s 75-74 OT victory over North Alabama. N’Guessan started his seventh-consecutive game to start the season as KSU is still awaiting the return of the suspended Nae-Qwan Tomlin. The senior forward rebounded from a one-point effort in his previous game as the 12 points represented a season high. N’Guessan is averaging 7.8 points and 8.1 boards in 25.9 minutes per game.
