Villanova to retire Josh Hart’s jersey

Villanova announced earlier this week that they’ll be retiring Josh Hart’s jersey on January 19th at halftime of their game against Marquette. Hart, who wore the number 3 in 146 games played for the Wildcats over four seasons, will become the first member of the 2016 national championship team to receive this honor.

Finishing in the top ten in the Big East in points and rebounds, Hart was a core member of that year’s team and an integral part of the championship run. He averaged more than 16 points in conference play, leading the Wildcats to the regular season title.
