Villanova looks to avenge loss vs. reeling Creighton

Villanova's season of redemption has incurred few blemishes, and the Wildcats have the opportunity to remedy one of them Saturday afternoon when they take on Creighton in Omaha, Neb.

First-year coach Kevin Willard has Villanova on the cusp of its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2022, when Jay Wright's swan song concluded with his fourth Final Four appearance.

After three subpar seasons compared to Wright's program standards, the Wildcats (19-5, 10-3 Big East) are back on track, having won four straight games.
