After losing in overtime at home to No. 11 Providence (18-6) in January, No. 1 Villanova (20-3) bounced back with an impressive 72-60 road win over the Friars this past Saturday.
While the win was Villanova’s 10th in the Big East this season, this victory was another example of a common trend we have seen in the Wildcats over the past two seasons.
Over the past two seasons, the Wildcats have achieved revenge against any Big East team that has beaten them. The last time this did not happen was in 2014, when the Wildcats dropped both games to Creighton that season.
