With the Quarterfinal game of the Big East Tournament between Georgetown and Villanova coming up later today, we thought this would be a good time to update you on what happened last time the two teams met. It was a close game throughout, and after 48 fouls being handed out, the game ended on two Jonathan Wallace free throws with under a second to go.
