What a crazy game.
Villanova has had their fair share of trouble with Seton Hall the past few years, and it was another dogfight at The Rock on Wednesday night. Ultimately, Josh Hart and Ryan Arcidiacono carried the team to a 72-71 victory to keep the Wildcats' perfect Big East record intact.
The game started off rather cagey with both defenses trying to dictate the shot selection for each team by packing the lanes and over-helping on penetration. This resulted in plenty of open looks, and both the Wildcats and Pirates were happy to oblige.
Villanova shot 8-14 (57%) from downtown and the Pirates weren't far off at 5-12 (47%).
