Monday's showdown between the Villanova Wildcats (12-7) and the Georgetown Hoyas (12-6) is set to take place at The William B. Finneran Pavilion, with both teams eager to secure a crucial Big East win.
The Georgetown Hoyas began their season with promise, but they’ve hit a rough patch, dropping four straight conference games leading up to this matchup in Philadelphia. Their skid includes losses to two ranked foes, No. 7 Marquette and No. 9 UConn, as well as defeats at the hands of St. John’s and DePaul, making their current form a concern.
Meanwhile, the Villanova Wildcats hold a 5-3 record in Big East play, placing them in fifth within the 11-team conference. Villanova has been dominant at home, boasting an unbeaten 4-0 record in conference games at The Pavilion. Their victories include an impressive win over No. 9 UConn, alongside triumphs against Seton Hall, DePaul, and Providence.
