For the first time in a long time, Villanova seems a little vulnerable heading into Sunday’s meeting with Xavier at Cintas Center (1:30 p.m., CBS).
The Wildcats are coming off a loss - their second in a row - Wednesday at Georgetown, marking the first time since the reformation of the Big East Conference (2013-2014) that Villanova has lost consecutive conference games.
It’s not just two straight losses that make Villanova look more mortal than it has in some time, it’s three losses in the last four games.
