Watch: Wild final sequence guides Villanova to upset win

Villanova wasn't going to go down without a fight, as Tyler Perkins knocked down a three-point shot of his own to put the Wildcats back ahead with nine seconds remaining.

St. John's would have one last chance to tie or win the game at the buzzer, but it was unsuccessful, as Wilcher missed what would have been the game-winning three.

The difference in the game was indeed three-point shooting, as Villanova shot 45.8% from three opposed to St. John's 29.7%.

The win for Villanova was its first Quad 1 victory of the season and it has put the Wildcats in a position to play themselves into a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
