Seton Hall was out for revenge in Saturday afternoon’s game after losing to No. 3 Villanova by two points a week ago and blowing a 16-point second half lead to No. 17 Creighton on Wednesday.
However, Villanova denied Seton Hall a marquee win and that chance at revenge. The Pirates and the ‘Cats tend to play close games but 'Nova grabbed an early lead in this one and were never truly threatened by Seton Hall. The Wildcats ultimately won, 80-72.
Villanova started out strong in the first half leading by as much as 16 points. Some key takeaways in forging the big lead was a 16-3 run led by Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
