2022-23 Big East Men’s Basketball Summer Check-In: Villanova Wildcats

2021-22 Record: 30-8, 16-4 Big East

2021-22 Big East Finish: Second, two games ahead of Providence in the win column, but one behind them in the loss column and thus behind them by way of winning percentage even though the Wildcats swept the season series with the Friars with both games coming after Valentine’s Day.

Final 2021-22 KenPom.com Ranking: #10

Postseason? You betcha. The Wildcats beat St. John’s, Connecticut, and Creighton to grab their fifth Big East tournament title since The Reformation, and then smothered Delaware, Ohio State, Michigan, and Houston to reach the Final Four for the first time since 2018 and the fourth time under the direction of head coach Jay Wright.
