Daily News | After loss to UConn, Villanova’s path to the NCAA Tournament has just one path
There was a silver lining inside Villanova’s 71-59 loss to No. 14 UConn in the regular season finale Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center, depending on your perspective.
The Wildcats may have had to do that anyway, no matter the result of Saturday’s game vs. UConn . But a poor shooting performance and an inability to stop UConn on defense made sure of it.Statistical leaders Villanova started strong offensively. The Wildcats made seven of their first 13 shots and were finding ways to score despite UConn’s tough defense.
Instead, Whitmore rushed the ball upcourt and turned it over. UConn got the final shot of the half: a Karaban baseline jumper that beat the first-half buzzer and sent UConn into the break with a 32-24 lead.The poor shooting didn’t get much better after halftime. UConn deserves some credit for how tight it played Villanova defensively, but even Villanova’s open shots were rarely falling.
Villanova made just seven of its 28 three-point attempts on the night. The Wildcats shot 36.4% from the floor overall.It’s tournament time
