The struggling Butler Bulldogs will have their hands full when they visit the No. 1 Villanova Wildcats in Big East action on Saturday.
Villanova is 23-3 in the 2015-16 season and beat Butler 60-55 back on Jan. 10, midway through a nine-game winning streak. After dropping just a single contest to the Providence Friars on Jan. 24, the Wildcats have reeled off another six straight wins. They're led by junior guard Josh Hart, who averages 14.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.
Meanwhile, Butler has lost seven of its last 14 games to drop to 18-8 for the season, putting an NCAA tournament berth in jeopardy.
