Villanova has now won six games in a row and its latest victory was the most impressive of this winning streak.
The ‘Cats dominated Butler en route to a 40-point win and were two points away from doubling Butler’s 42 points. Yes, Butler only scored 42 points in the Wildcats’ win and only 19 in the second half.
This is the same Butler team that won on the road in Norman against Oklahoma, who is a projected tournament team. Bryce Nze, one of Butler’s best players and starters, didn’t even play against Oklahoma, but he did play 23 minutes against the ‘Cats.
