VILLANOVA, Pa., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- No. 4 Villanova used 14 points apiece from Antonio Pena and Scottie Reynolds Saturday to breeze to an 81-63 win over LaSalle.

Corey Fisher helped the Wildcats run their record to 6-0 with 13 points, six steals and four assists. Dominic Cheek also hit double figures with 10.

"You just can't come into these games thinking that things are going to work the way you want them to be," Villanova Coach Jay Wright said. "I never really hold our team responsible for how they look in these games ... . I do hold them responsible for their effort and fighting through. That's exactly what we did today."

The Explorers got 17 points from Kimmani Barrett and 15 each from Jerrell Williams and Aaric Murray. Williams also grabbed 16 rebounds and Murray had 14 for LaSalle (3-2).

The Wildcats led by eight at halftime and pumped its lead over its Big 5 rival to 45-31 after a pair of Pena free throws 2 minutes into the second half.
