The #12 Villanova Wildcats, de facto mayors of Bubbleville, USA, will take on the Hartford Hawks on Tuesday evening. After Villanova’s game against St. Joe’s was cancelled due to a positive COVID-19 test, the team scrambled to find another opponent. Ultimately, the Hartford Hawks, coached by former St. Joe’s guard John Gallagher, agreed to join that ‘Cats at Mohegan.
The Hawks are coming off a loss in their season opener against the UConn Huskies. Last season, Hartford was scheduled to face off against the Vermont Catamounts in the Championship Game of the America East Tournament before the sport was derailed by the pandemic.
