PHILADELPHIA -- Villanova will look for its second straight victory to open the season when it hosts Quinnipiac Saturday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
The No. 9-ranked Wildcats (1-0) began the season with a 100-77 win over Morgan State on Tuesday. Eric Paschall led the way with 26 points, Phil Booth added 17 and freshman Saddiq Bey had 16.
In another nonconference matchup, Villanova will be facing a familiar face in Baker Dunleavy, Quinnipiac's head coach. Dunleavy played at Villanova from 2002-06 and was on head coach Jay Wright's staff from 2011-17.
