Jordair Jett scored 19 points off the bench and Kyle Cassity buried four 3-pointers as Saint Louis knocked off Villanova, 80-68, on Friday in the 76 Classic at Anaheim, Calif.

Cody Ellis added 14 points for the Billikens (5-0), who will face Oklahoma or Santa Clara in the Championship Game on Sunday night.

Maalik Wayns scored a career-high 29 points for the Wildcats (4-1), who finish up their Classic in the consolation game.

Wayns scored 15 points in the first 11 minutes of the game, helping Villanova jump out to a 26-16 lead. But the junior guard could not coax much offensive support out of his teammates and Saint Louis took advantage.

Kwamain Mitchell hit a pair of 3-pointers and Jett and Cassity each added one from beyond the arc in a 12-0 run that gave the Billikens to lead. They would stretch the spurt out to 20-2 when Ellis hit back-to-back 3-pointers and went into the locker room with a 38-34 edge.

Saint Louis hit four more 3-pointers in the first five minutes of the second half and never trailed. The Billikens ended up shooting 14 of 27 from 3-point range.
