The inconsistent Villanova Wildcats blew a late lead in a 61-57 loss to the George Mason Colonials.
Villanova, despite never building a double-digit lead, seemed to be in complete control from the opening tip.
The Wildcats finally looked like the team that many felt could be a Final Four contender, but it didn’t take long for that other group to show up.
With a six-point lead with just three minutes to play, the Wildcats started to run down the clock a bit too early. ( Read More…)

The ending for the Villanova Wildcats came in crushing, gut-wrenching fashion in Friday’s NCAA tournament opener.
Leading for most of the game, the reeling Wildcats managed to lose control at the finish. Luke Hancock’s 3-pointer with 20 seconds left gave George Mason the lead, and Mike Morrison’s dunk 16 seconds later knocked Villanova out of the NCAAs 61-57, in the second round of the East regional in Cleveland.

Now would be a good time for the Villanova Wildcats to turn things around. The NCAA tournament is here, and nobody expects much from a team that has totally fallen apart after a white-hot start to the season.
At one point this season, Villanova was 16-1, ranked in the top 10 in the nation and looked every bit like a Final Four contender. ( Read More…)

Regular season. Postseason. No matter the season, it’s been nothing but a struggle lately for the Villanova Wildcats.
The Wildcats at one time were ranked No. 6 in the nation. But after losing their final four regular-season games, Villanova lost a 16-point lead and fell 70-69 to South Florida in the opening round of the Big East tournament on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. ( Read More…)

The good news for the Villanova Wildcats is they have won 21 games this season and are above .500 in the rugged Big East Conference.
The bad news is the Wildcats are limping to the finish line in the regular season. The Wildcats have lost three games in a row and five of the past seven. ( Read More…)

The host Villanova Wildcats continued their recent shaky play with a 69-66 loss to the Georgetown Hoyas.
Villanova trailed for most of the game but once again tried to make a late comeback, and they almost pulled it off thanks to their pressure defense.
In the end, it was simply too much Austin Freeman. He hung 30 points on Villanova, and I’m sure players will be seeing him in their sleep.
The Wildcats had the more balanced offensive attack of the two teams, with five players scoring in double figures. ( Read More…)

The hangover from knocking off the third-ranked team in the nation wasn’t the problem for the Villanova Wildcats on Wednesday.
Rather, it was the Providence Friars who presented a challenge the Wildcats could not overcome. No. 7 Villanova never led in a 83-68 defeat at Providence. ( Read More…)

The Villanova Wildcats finally woke up in the second half just in time to rally past the upset-minded Maryland Terrapins, 74-66.
After falling behind by 12 points midway through the second half, Villanova went on a 19-0 run to take control of the game.
Maalik Wayns lead the way with 22 points for the Wildcats while Corey Fisher added 17, including eight during the big run.
The Wildcats struggled to find an answer for Maryland’s Jordan Williams, who finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds. ( Read More…)

Despite losing one of the greatest scorers in school history, will the Villanova Wildcats actually be better in 2011?
Andy Katz seems to think so. Despite the graduation of Scottie Reynolds, second on the all-time scoring list at the university, Katz ranks the Wildcats No. 9 in his Preseason Top 25.
Why? Jay Wright’s returning team is full of potential stars, led by guards Corey Fischer and Corey Stokes. But this team appears to be as deep as any in the country, with Antonio Pena, Maalik Wayans, and Dominic Cheek equally able to fill it up when necessary. ( Read More…)

The Villanova Wildcats couldn’t get big baskets down the stretch and were upset by Saint Mary’s, 75-68.
Villanova got off to a slow start, but they finally started to hit their stride midway through the second half.
In the end, the Wildcats simply let Saint Mary’s hang around for far too long, and it came back to bite them.
Scottie Reynolds had another rough day, and the Wildcats couldn’t overcome it against a quality opponent.
It’s a disappointing loss for Villanova, which still believed they were a Final Four caliber team.
