Jay Wright apologized for both his tardiness to a postgame news conference and for failing to bring two players who usually flank Villanova’s coach at the podium because he let them shower first.

Hart scored 25 points and No. 2 Villanova held off a late Georgetown run in a 75-64 victory Tuesday night.
