Tuesday evening, the defending NCAA champions made their way to University city as Penn basketball hosted No. 2 Villanova in front of a sold out crowd. The Wildcats set the tone early in their 82-57 blowout of the Quakers and never looked back, out-shooting and out-scrapping their Big 5 opponents at every turn. The loss dropped Penn to 2-3 on the season, while Villanova moved to 7-0 and continued to assert their authority as reigning champions of college basketball.
