🔼 Packed House. A sellout crowd at Finneran Pavilion was thrilled as the depth of the Villanova men’s hoops team was on full display en route to a 72-60 victory over visiting Seton Hall on Wednesday night.

Sophomore guard Malachi Palmer led a potent reserve group with a career-best 15 points, along with six rebounds for the ‘Cats. The Wildcats improved to 8-3 in league play thanks to a 25-point effort from the bench.

On the glass, Villanova was dominant, holding a 37-27 advantage on the boards, led by a double-double from Duke Brennan (12 points, 10 rebounds).

Ten (10) home wins equal $10,000 for Bringing Hope Home. United Healthcare will continue to donate $1,000 to Bringing Hope Home for every home win this season! The more we win, the more Bringing Hope Home wins thanks to the generosity of United Healthcare. United Healthcare is a proud partner of Villanova Athletics.

🔼 Third Times A Charm. A dominant third quarter propelled the Villanova women’s basketball team to a 67-57 road win at Butler on Wednesday to help the ‘Cats improve to 18-5 overall and 11-3 in league play.

After the two teams battled through a defensive first half, Villanova rolled through the third quarter to grab control of the game and secure the victory.

The trip out west didn’t cool off super sophomore Jasmine Bascoe, who posted a third-straight 20+ point effort with 27 points for the ‘Cats.

🔼 Inside The Huddle. What goes into the success of this year’s Villanova women’s hoops team?

Let’s go inside the huddle at practice with the ‘Cats in the latest edition of Mic’d Up!

🔼 New Additions. The new faces of the Villanova Football program added two more additions this week as Coach Ferrante and staff announced a pair of scholastic players joining the incoming class.

The duo consists of two Mid-Atlantic products, defensive back Josiah Adams (Upper Darby, Pa.) and running back Jonah Glenn (Barnegat, N.J.), who join the 13 announced in December to form a 15-person Wildcat recruiting class.
