PHILADELPHIA -- Fourth-ranked Villanova will attempt to win its 14th Big East game of the season and potentially tie Xavier for first place on Saturday when it faces Georgetown in the regular-season home finale at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Wildcats (26-4, 13-4) won a thriller in overtime 69-68 on Wednesday at Seton Hall to give themselves a shot at sharing the Big East title. To make that happen, Villanova will need Xavier (26-4, 14-3) to lose at DePaul on Saturday.
Mikal Bridges led the way for Villanova with 23 points and 10 rebounds while National Player of the Year candidate Jalen Brunson scored 14 points.
