The Kyle Neptune era at Villanova is over.
The Wildcats have reportedly fired their head coach, according to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein. The move comes after they fell to UConn in the Big East tournament quarterfinals on Thursday, which all-but ensured that the team would miss the NCAA tournament for a third straight season.

Neptune took over for Jay Wright at Villanova when the longtime coach retired after the 2021-22 campaign. He was the coach at Fordham for one season before being hired for the job with the Wildcats, though he was Wright's longest-tenured assistant at Villanova before landing his first head coaching job.
