The Georgetown Hoyas came into Philadelphia and knocked off Villanova 69-66 in front of a big crowd at the Wells Fargo Center. It was the Wildcats third loss in their last four games and drops them to 5-3 in the Big East. Currently ranked at #8 in the AP top 25, Villanova is sure to tumble after a disastrous week. On Wednesday, Nova was upset in blowout fashion by Providence.
↵Austin Freeman led the way for the Hoyas with 30 points, including 10 of his teams final 12. Three times over the course of the final 1:15, Villanova was able to cut the Georgetown lead to one, but every time it was Freeman who stretched the Hoya lead back to three.
↵Villanova was led by Maalik Wayns and Corey Stokes, who each had 15 a piece. Next week, Villanova will try to turns things around as they host Big East rivals Marquette and West Virginia at the Pavilion.
