Villanova wins Big East championship over Creighton, 54-48NEW YORK — It wasn’t his night, until Collin Gillespie decided it was.
Villlanova's Jermaine Samuels hits the acrobatic late bucket to give the Wildcats the 33-32 lead over UConn
Collin Gillespie - Second-half surge topples CreightonGillespie totaled 17 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals in Saturday's victory over Creighton in the Big East tournament final.
ImpactGillespie was scoreless at halftime but found the range afterwards, rediscovering his 3-point stroke and setting up teammates with his court vision. The cohesive and experienced Wildcats will be an interesting semi-sleeper for the NCAA Tournament, likely as a No. 3 seed. They're also the best free-throw shooting team in the country.

Jordan Hawkins - Hopeful for return next weekCoach Dan Hurley is hopeful that Hawkins (concussion) can "get back in the fold" in time for the NCAA Tournament, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.
ImpactHawkins is still nursing his concussion but it sounds like there is a good chance that he will be back in time for the tournament. If he is able to go, he should be able to fill in as a roleplayer.
