Indianapolis, Ind. – If you still haven’t picked up a mega millions lottery ticket, you can be sure to bet on lucky number three. Powerball Josh Hart’s second straight double-double (22 points, 11 rebounds) led to a 60-55 win against Butler at Hinkle Fieldhouse last night, redeeming the Wildcats after their lowest scoring half of the season.
“We just love playing here,” stated Villanova head coach Jay Wright. “We have so much respect for [Butler].”
Foul trouble and cold shooting on Villanova’s end combined with impressive Butler defense kept it a low-scoring game at the half, showing 27-21 on the scoreboard in the home team’s favor.
