Those 10 assists gave Richmond a new career-high.
The Red Storm were ultimately victimized by a great shooting night from Villanova, who shot 53.1% from the floor and went 11-for-24 from the 3-point line. However, Rick Pitino’s squad has still covered the spread in five of its last seven outings and has covered in two of three head-to-head matchups with Creighton since Pitino took over.
