The Villanova Wildcats and Kansas Jayhawks are no stranger to one another. They, in fact, will have met at one point or another in each of the last three seasons and four of the last five once Saturday comes and goes. ‘Nova and Jay Wright have the advantage, a 2-1 record over Bill Self’s Jayhawks. But that one loss is still very fresh in the minds of the Wildcats who were at Allen Fieldhouse last year.
Kansas nipped Villanova 74-71 at the Phog in Lawrence last December 15. Now on December 21, the ‘Cats and Jayhawks are fixing to square off at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
