PHILADELPHIA—Villanova fired Kyle Neptune on Saturday after a three-year run where he succeeded Hall of Fame coach Jay Wright and failed to ever make the NCAA Tournament.
Neptune went 54–47 overall and 31–29 in the Big East in three seasons with the Wildcats, including a 19–14 record this season. The Wildcats—who won two national championships under Wright—lost to UConn on Thursday night in a Big East Conference Tournament quarterfinal at Madison Square Garden.
