The Villanova Wildcats wrap up the regular season on Saturday with a trip to Washington, D.C., and a date with the Georgetown Hoyas. The Wildcats have the top seed in the Big East Tournament wrapped up and will be playing mostly for pride, but avoiding a bad loss in this contest should all but lock up a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
As for their counterpart, the Hoyas are a team in turmoil poised for back-to-back losing seasons. A fourth-straight loss on Tuesday has led to a rough week for coach John Thompson III. Speculation has ramped up about his job security for next season and whether it would even be a consideration were his dad not the most famous coach in the school’s history.
