Villanova vs. Seton Hall Basketball: The Day After Stats, Highlights, & Articles

The Villanova Basketball experienced a bump in their ride to the NCAA Tournament on Monday night. A loss to Seton Hall (14-5, 3-13) was not what the Wildcats or the Nova Faithful were hoping for.

Just sent Tuesday's bracket to Bristol. Surprisingly, Villanova stays in the field (next to last team) despite loss at Seton Hall.
