Jordan Hawkins tormented the Villanova Wildcats once again, as he and the rest of the UConn Huskies heated up and pulled away for a 71-59 win to secure the regular season series sweep at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night.
The Wildcats died by the three, shooting 2-of-10 in the first half and creating a hole that they couldn’t climb out of.
The desperation grew as the deficit did for Villanova, with some unimportant makes late in the game to finish 7-of-28 (25.0%) from long range.
Three-point shooting created separation for UConn, making four in each half including two in the first three minutes of the second half to extend the lead 42-28.
