He takes some relief in knowing he's not the coach who has to shut down the duo in Villanova's backcourt. Maalik Wayns and Corey Fisher may be the best combination in the Big East - and why the No. 12 Wildcats are always so dangerous.
Wayns scored 17 points and Fisher had 16 to help the Wildcats pull away late in a sluggish game, beating No. 25 West Virginia 66-50 on Saturday.
"I think these guys are the best, I really do," Wright said. "I wouldn't trade these two guards for anybody. Anybody."
The Wildcats (19-4, 7-3 Big East) finally got hot late in the second half to break open a boring first 30 minutes. The Wildcats led 45-40 midway through the second, then went on a 19-3 run to coast toward their second straight win.
Wayns, Fisher and Corey Stokes all hit 3s during the spurt and the Wildcats were sensational from the field. They were 25 of 46 (54 percent) in numbers bolstered during the run.
