Alyn Breed had 14 points for the Friars (11-11, 7-9). David Duke added 11 points.
The Huskies evened the season series against the Friars. Providence defeated UConn 70-59 last Wednesday.
UConn pays out $5000 for every $100 bet to win the 2021 NCAA Men's College Basketball Championship.
Villanova suffered a loss against Creighton its last game. Prior to that game they had won eleven of their last twelve.
Defense has been a concern for coach Jay Wright, and this game exposed it. If the offense isn't operating at a high level, the Wildcats can't count on their defense to bail them out.
They remain among the favorites to win the Men's College Basketball Championship at 12-1 odds.
