Georgetown Sweeps Villanova for First Time Since 1993

The Georgetown Hoyas achieved a historic sweep against the Villanova Wildcats, winning 75-73 in a thrilling game marked by a late comeback. Jayden Epps scored the game-winning layup with just five seconds remaining, contributing significantly to the Hoyas' victory, which clinched a winning season for them. Micah Peavy also played a crucial role, scoring 19 points and hitting five three-pointers. Villanova, despite leading by nine points in the final minutes, faltered again, raising concerns about Coach Kyle Neptune's future with the team as they face a must-win situation in the upcoming Big East Conference Tournament. The Wildcats' performance has been inconsistent, with only two Quad 1 victories, making their NCAA Tournament hopes precarious. Epps' development and leadership were highlighted as pivotal factors in Georgetown's success, signaling a turnaround for the program under Coach Ed Cooley.
