Josh Hart

Hart is the leader on the No.1 seed Villanova Wildcats. He leads the Big East in scoring, averaging 18.7 points per game. But, the Wildcats senior guard does more than just score.

In addition to his scoring prowess, Hart averages an impressive 6.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He makes 50.7 percent of his shots, shoots 40.4 percent from beyond the three-point line and 75 percent from the foul line.

He does a little bit of everything for Villanova and knows how to win. He was a big part of the Wildcats winning the National Championship last year. This is the first step in Villanova repeating as champions.

Hart is in the running for National Player of the Year, and rightfully so. His stats speak for themselves, as Hart has produced all season for the Wildcats. He even has a triple-double to boot this season.

The Big East Tournament will give a chance for Hart to add to his already impressive to try and take home National Player of the Year honors.
