We've seen this movie before.
As I mentioned in the previous thread, I was unable to watch the game because Peacock sucks, but a simple look at the game log tells the story. Villanova led by nine with 3:43 to play (93.9% win probability) and proceeded to give up a 13-2 run to relinquish the lead before losing on a layup with five seconds left. I don't even know what to say anymore.
It looks like it was a pretty ugly game for the most part, with Nova starting 1-9 from three and struggling with the Georgetown zone based on what I heard from people who were at the game. The Cats shot just 29% from three while allowing Georgetown to connect on 45%. Georgetown was +18 from beyond the arc. The Wildcats were also an uncharacteristic 11-16 (69%) from the free throw line.
From the 8:53 mark until the 3:43 mark Villanova outscored the Hoyas 16-3 before the collapse.
At-large NCAA Tournament hopes were already essentially a pipe dream, but they are officially dead with this latest debacle. The Cats will have to win the Big East Tournament to end their tournament drought. Almost unfathomable the way this team has managed to lose games this season.
