The first of four Big 12-Big East Challenges will feature the No. 19 Texas Longhorns and the No. 3 Villanova Wildcats at the Erwin Center on Dec. 6 on ESPN, the school announced on Monday.
The matchups were determined by the two conferences and will continue annually through the 2022-23 season.
Texas is 2-1 against Villanova, with the first matchup occurring in 2006, a 58-55 win by the No. 6 Longhorns over the No. 3 Wildcats. Villanova notched a win in Philadelphia the next season, but fell to Texas in 2008 during the Jimmy V Classic.
