No. 5 Villanova 62, Pennsylvania 47: Daniel Ochefu scored a career-high 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the visiting Wildcats defeated their Big 5 rival.

Ochefu, who shot 8-of-12 and notched his fifth double-double of the season, was nearly the only player to score in double figures as Villanova (17-1) topped Penn for the 12th straight time. Dylan Ennis made a layup with under a minute remaining to finish with 10 points, while Darrun Hilliard II struggled to eight points on 2-of-9 shooting.

Penn reserves Antonio Woods (18 points) and Mike Auger (eight points) combined to shoot 10-of-16, while their teammates were 9-of-30. Tony Hicks also contributed eight points for the Quakers (4-9), who were doomed by 17 turnovers and 3-of-13 3-point shooting.

Ochefu scored six points on 3-of-5 shooting in the first half, but his teammates made only 6-of-25 attempts as the Wildcats led 23-21 at the break. The Quakers shot a respectable 9-of-20 in the opening 20 minutes but had 11 first-half turnovers and committed another to spark a quick 5-0 run that gave Villanova some breathing room, 38-32, midway through the second half.

Penn rallied within 38-37, but Ochefu found Ryan Arcidiacono for a 3-pointer, then fed Ennis for a jumper before dunking to cap a 7-0 run that permanently halted the Quakers' momentum. Ochefu added two layups and four foul shots in the final 4:03 to help wrap up the victory.
