The Villanova Wildcats have wadded into dangerous waters. Following a disappointing second half effort against Xavier, the Wildcats have now dropped three straight, a losing streak no player on the current roster has endured. On Wednesday, that losing streak could stretch to four against the Big East leading Marquette Golden Eagles. With a loss, Marquette will almost certainly wrap up a Big East title.
Marquette comes into Wednesday’s 9:00 P.M. ET showdown with a 23-4 record, 12-2 in the Big East. The Golden Eagles have won 12 of their last 13 and four straight, a mini streak that started with a narrow 66-65 victory at home against the Wildcats.
