Things haven’t been particularly great for the Villanova Wildcats. Their 8-4 start is their worst since the Big East’s reformatting in the 2013-14 season. They’ve lost back-to-back games twice this season, when they hadn’t done at all for five consecutive seasons.
That being said, the season is a long way away from being over and there’s time to turn things around. They can begin to do so again against an old friend on Saturday. Villanova is set to meet up with the UConn Huskies, a former Big East powerhouse who now of course stand in the American Athletic Conference.
