VILLANOVA, Pa. — Villanova hasn't played this well since Rollie Massimino left town.
The No. 9 Wildcats are 20-6, winning 12 of their last 13 games, including a stunning 96-73 victory at then-No. 1 Connecticut.
The key to the team's improvement has been a renewed emphasis on defense and rebounding for a team that already has one of the Big East Conference's most prolific scorers, Kerry Kittles.
"Now it's getting to be known that we have an inside threat as well as outside threat," said Coach Steve Lappas, who was an assistant on the Massimino-led NCAA championship team of 1985.
Koregane is a 6-foot-9 transfer from North Carolina State.
"His physical presence down low is something we've been looking for," Kerry Kittles said. "He's got the muscles and athleticism we needed for that power forward position."
The Wildcats, who start three juniors and two sophomores, have held opponents to 42 percent shooting while射击 48 percent.
Kornegay, who became eligible Dec. 22, moved into the lineup after senior co-captain Ron Wilson suffered a stress fracture of the left foot. Wilson has missed 17 games.

immediately began to shape up Villanova's weak rebounding.
"He's been a big help. He scores, he gets the rebound and the put-back," said sophomore center Jason Lawson, who leads the team with 61 blocked shots. "That can free me up to do things inside."
Kornegay, who played in seven games for North Carolina State at the beginning of the 1992-93 season, wanted to transfer to a small private school because he was struggling academically at the large state school.
"When I first looked at this team, I knew they had the potential to be good," Kornegay said. "Now that I'm here, I'm just trying to help and be as much of a presence as I can inside."
That's where Kittles has dominated this season, averaging 20.7 points a game, including a career-high 37 points against Connecticut.
The emergence of a defensive presence has helped the Wildcats offensive.
The Wildcats have found ways to win even when Kittles struggles. In a 78-74 victory against Penn State on Wednesday, Kittles was only 1-for-7 for five points. But Eric Eberz scored 25 points and Lawson had 20.
"What it showed was that this is not a one-dimensional team like we thought all along," Lappas said. "It's nice to know that when Kerry is human, we still find a way to win."
