It’s a new year, but it was still the same old tightly-contested battle at the Prudential Center between Villanova and Seton Hall.
The No. 22-ranked Wildcats held off an undermanned, but extremely determined Seton Hall squad, besting the 15th-ranked Pirates on Saturday, 73-67.
Justin Moore knocked down the key go-ahead second-chance jumper with 1:36 to go to put Villanova up by one, and then he put together a clutch block in the closing seconds of the game.
The Wildcats made just enough free throws and made some key stops to stay on top, while Seton Hall’s attempts to salvage the game fell short.
