Villanova Basketball falls to Butler 66-58 for their first loss of the season

All good things must come to an end, and that was the case for Villanova’s record winning streaks as Butler handed them their first loss of the season 66-58. It was the first win for the Bulldogs over the Wildcats in school history, and the fans stormed the court at Hinkle Fieldhouse following the victory.

Josh Hart shot just 3-11 as the team shot a season low 37.3% from the field in the loss. The shooting was even worse from deep, as the Cats went 6-26 on 23.1% shooting. Jalen Brunson led all scorers with 23 points, but only had 2 assists on the night.
