Thirteen days earlier Villanova beat Connecticut 69-64, but the Huskies (25-2, 12-2 Big East) took control of this game with an 18-3 run after the Wildcats (22-3, 12-2) took their last lead of the game.

He had a total of 18 points in the Huskies' last three games, the first of which was the loss to Villanova that ended an 11-game winning streak.

TIMBERWOLVES 105, GRIZZLIES 99: Ricky Davis scored a season-high 35 points to help Minnesota overcome Kevin Garnett's ejection in the Timberwolves' 105-99 victory over Memphis. Garnett was tossed in the third quarter for flipping the ball into the stands and accidentally hitting a fan. He was frustrated after being called for and offensive foul with the Wolves leading 64-61 with 7:47 left in the quarter. Before leaving the arena, Garnett said he didn't intend to throw the ball into the stands, but rather was trying to get a delay-of-game call. Referee Bob Delaney assessed Garnett a technical foul for tossing the ball, and he was automatically ejected because it hit the fan.

Afterward, Garnett walked over to the fan, who did not appear to be injured, to apologize before leaving the court. Garnett had 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Chucky Atkins led Memphis with 22 points. 90, CAVALIERS 78: Chauncey Billups scored 21 points and Ben Wallace had 11 points and 19 rebounds for Detroit.
