The year 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic might have ruined many plans and brought numerous surprises, but even in this era of uncertainty one thing remains — the Hawk is still dead.
The Wildcats won the latest entry in the ‘Holy War’ — their rivalry against Big 5 foe Saint Joseph’s Hawks, 88-68.
The Hawks proved to be more formidable than their winless record initially suggested. Despite trailing for most of the time, they kept the game close, until Villanova went on a big 17-2 run over a five-and-a-half-minute stretch midway through the second half to put the game out of reach.
