Hart, Jenkins lead way as No. 2 Villanova routs Georgetown

WASHINGTON -- Josh Hart scored 21 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers with 7 minutes left that put the game out of reach, as No. 2 Villanova pulled away to beat Georgetown 81-55 on Saturday to roll into the postseason with momentum.

The senior guard from nearby Silver Spring, Maryland, was ice cold for stretches but came up big when it mattered. But Hart finished 8 of 15 from the field with six rebounds, four assists and three steals to lead the Wildcats (28-3, 15-3 Big East) to their fifth consecutive victory against the Hoyas (14-17, 5-13) -- tying the longest streak in the history of the rivalry.
