Just two weeks ago, Villanova looked like a team on the rise after taking down No. 9 UConn. Now, the Wildcats find themselves in damage-control mode, trying to snap a two-game losing streak when they host Providence in Big East action Friday night. Following the 68-66 win over UConn on Jan. 5, Wildcats leading scorer Eric Dixon praised his team’s ability to defend and compete against top-tier opponents. However, where Villanova (11-7, 4-3 Big East) is at now looks much different.
