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.
