Corey Fisher got it started and Maalik Wayns finished the job. Fisher scored 20 of his 21 points in the first half and Wayns had 13 of his 15 in the second, and No. 7 Villanova beat Cincinnati (No. 25 ESPN/USA Today, No. 24 AP) 72-61 on Sunday, handing the Bearcats their first loss of the season. Fisher made all nine of his free throws in a dynamic first half for the Wildcats (14-1, 3-0 Big East). Wayns was 6 for 6 from the line in the second half. "I just had to keep being aggressive and play the same game," said Wayns, who played much of the second half with four fouls. "Take my aggressiveness away and I don't play the same. I have to play the same way." Villanova upped its winning streak at The Pavilion, its cozy 6,500-seat on-campus arena, to 45 straight. The streak began on Jan. 17, 2007, and now includes 19 wins over Big East teams. "Fish had a big first half," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "But he got in foul trouble. Both Fish and Wayns did a great job for us." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=310090222
