In one of the biggest Big-5 clashes in recent memory, Temple plays host to No. 1 in the nation Villanova Wednesday night at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
Villanova enters as the top ranked team in the nation looking to solidify that ranking and remain there for the second consecutive week while the Owls hope to solidify their tournament resume.
The Scarlet Knights are 0-13 in the Big Ten this season and have lost 28 straight conference games overall.
Despite owning the No. 1 ranking, Villanova is looking to avoid another disappointing performance in the NCAA tournament after failing to reach the second weekend since 2009.
