The Villanova Wildcats scraped by the Georgetown Hoyas on Monday afternoon, 77-73, with a last-minute Brandon Slater steal turned Cam Whitmore dunk to seal the victory and series sweep of the Hoyas. A win is a win.
“Hard fought Big East game, credit to Georgetown,” Villanova coach Kyle Neptune said. “We got up early, we tried to separate, but they made a furious comeback in the first half, which continued into the second half. Give our guys a lot of credit as well, they came out, we’d been down in that spot a couple times this year, and ended up getting over the hump.
