Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:Villanova started the half cold but finished strong. That should be an entertaining second half.
Entertaining as Villanova let X hang around until the bitter end (seriously, the last 2:00 took about 20 minutes real time), but the Wildcats came through with a 77-70 win to clinch their first regular season Big East title since the 1981-1982 season.
They close the regular season at home against Georgetown, and then it's off to MSG for the Big East tourney. As a 'Nova fan, I want one more crack at Creighton. I doubt they grab a 1 seed for March Madness with a BE tourney win, but man it would be nice to knock the Jays off for the title at the Garden.
