The drought ended with 11:10 to play as Duke Brennan hit a jumper to pull the Wildcats within 17-14. The Dukes quickly responded with a 3-pointer by Dom Aekins.
Lindsay hit a 3-pointer at the 5:54 mark that tied the game at 28 and sparked a 19-3 run that ended with another shot from distance by Lindsay, giving the Wildcats a 44-31 lead with 2:32 left in the half.
Villanova went to halftime leading by 10 despite a slow start to the game.
