With a 74-66 win at the Finneran Pavilion on Senior Night, No. 10 Villanova handed the rival Georgetown Hoyas their 16th-straight loss.
While back-and-forth at first, Villanova eventually pulled away in the second half behind a resurgence from guard Justin Moore. With less than five minutes to play, Moore soared high for a block on Aminu Mohammed on the defensive end. He then turned around and completed a tough three-point play to make it 66-57 in Villanova’s favor with 4:19 left to play. The Wildcats were then able to hold on for the victory.
Despite a slow start, Moore led the way for the ‘Cats, scoring 19 points and grabbing six rebounds.
