Jamie Rhodes-USA TODAY Sports

The national champion's top scorer is returning for his senior season.

Josh Hart tweeted Tuesday night that he is withdrawing from the 2016 NBA Draft and will return to Villanova for his senior season.

With the three words "One More Year," the Wildcats chances of repeating as national champions got inherently better.

The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Hart led Villanova with 15.5 points per game, while also finishing as the team's second-leading rebounder, pulling down 6.8 boards per contest.

With Hart and Kris Jenkins returning, the Wildcats are poised to make another deep run into March.
