Villanova Looking for Revenge Against Butler



Villanova lost its last outing, a 79-75 result against the St. John's Red Storm on February 07. They failed to cover in that game as a -16-point favorite.

The Wildcats nearly capped a furious rally in the loss.  They fell short despite 28 points from Jalen Brunson. Collin Gillespie contributed a career-high 12 points.

Villanova had hit on at least 12 3-pointers in 10 of its last 12 games. St. John's held them to just 8 of 33.

Villanova will be without guard Phil Booth with a fractured bone in right hand. Eric Paschall is in concussion protocol and is a game-time decision. Paschall was a late scratch against St. John's and it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return to face Butler.

The Wildcats won the first six matchups against Butler. The Bulldogs have captured the last three.
