Josh Hart Is Returning To Villanova

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Villanova's best player is returning his senior season.

Josh Hart has officially decided to withdraw from the NBA and return to help the Wildcats defend their NCAA title.

"I enjoyed the process and learned a lot," Hart said in a statement. "It was definitely worthwhile. I look forward to graduating next year and coming back to play with my teammates."

Hart, 6'5", led Villanova in scoring averaging 15.5 points per game, to go along with 6.8 rebounds as a junior.

Villanova, as CBSSports.com points out, is going to be the championship team to return at least three starters and the top two scorers since the 2006 Florida, the last team to win back-to-back NCAA basketball championships.
