No. 12 Villanova 77, Lehigh 66: Dylan Ennis scored a career-high 19 points as the Wildcats pulled away in the season opener for both teams in Allentown, Pa.

Ryan Arcidiacono contributed 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals while Kris Jenkins provided a spark with three 3-pointers off the bench for Villanova (1-0). Ennis' big night helped make up for poor shooting from backcourt mates Darrun Hilliard and Arcidiacono, who combined for 26 points but shot only 8-of-32, including 2-of-16 from behind the arc.

Austin Price led the Mountain Hawks (0-1) with 24 points, including four 3-pointers. Tim Kempton, the reigning Rookie of the Year in the Patriot League, contributed 15 points and 10 rebounds but also had five of his team's 23 turnovers.

Villanova did not take its first lead until Josh Hart's basket with just under nine minutes to play in the first half. Ennis added six straight points in the waning minutes of the session as the Wildcats took a 32-30 advantage into the break.

The Mountain Hawks regained the lead early in the second half and extended their advantage to 46-40 on Miles Simelton's 3-pointer with about 15 minutes to go. However, Jenkins hit a 3 to get the Wildcats going and they took the lead for good on Daniel Ochefu's jumper with just under 11 minutes left.
