Cruises to second double-double Gillespie tallied 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 assists, three rebounds and three assists Wednesday in Villanova's 96-64 win over Marquette. Impact Gillespie directed a prolific Villanova offense Wednesday, with his teammates' red-hot shooting -- the Wildcats converted 63 percent of their field-goal attempts and 59.1 percent of their three-point attempts on the night -- allowing him to hit double digits in assists for the second time this season. After going a disastrous 0-for-8 from downtown in Villanova's upset loss to St. John's on Feb. 3, Gillespie hasn't needed any time to rediscover his shooting touch. He's gone 4-for-9 on three-point attempts over the Wildcats' past two contests.
