Wildcats fend off fightin’ Blue Hens for 78-70 victory

The last time the Villanova Wildcats participated in the Never Forget Tribute Classic, Josh Hart dropped an unforgettable 37 points against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a battle of top 25 teams.

This time around, Saturday’s contest with the Delaware Blue Hens is probably one to soon forget.

Villanova did get the win, leading the way for 38:31 of the full 40-minute match. While that was certainly expected, Wildcat fans likely didn’t imagine that the Blue Hens would make it a bit close for comfort. No. 20 Villanova held off the Delaware for a 78-70 win.
