PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - John Linehan had 19 points and Ryan Gomes had 17 points and 11 rebounds to lift Providence past Villanova 72-64 on Tuesday.
Ricky Wright had a career-high 25 points and 15 rebounds for Villanova.
Gary Buchanan added 19 points for the Wildcats (14-10, 5-8 Big East).
Villanova lead by as much as 8 points, 12-4, in the first four minutes, paced by Buchanan's five points. But Providence (15-12, 6-7) held the Wildcats to just two baskets in the next ten minutes, going on an 18-4 run to make it 22-16 at 6:04.
The Wildcats closed the margin to 31-28 at halftime, led by Buchanan's 11 first-half points.
Villanova took a 34-33 lead at 18:01 in the second on a Buchanan layup. Nineteen seconds later, Linehan sank his third 3-pointer to put the Friars ahead for good, 36-34.
Linehan sat down two minutes later after his fourth foul. When he returned the Wildcats had closed to 58-56 on two free throws by Wright.
Linehan then contributed two steals, one assist and six straight free throws to keep the game out of reach.
