Happy Game Day Nova Nation! Tonight’s the big night. Villanova and Providence, the top two teams in the conference, finally face off in a game that sets up the home stretch of the season. If Providence wins, they’ve got a virtual lock on the Big East Title and open a path to a possible #1 Seed in the NCAA Tournament. If Villanova wins, the Big East still runs through the Main Line and the Wildcats have a shot at their eighth Regular Season Championship in nine seasons.
With that in mind, I’ve been combing through the data and found some interesting tid-bits about tonight’s big game:
Providence’s First Regular Season Title
While Providence has a pair of Big East Tournament Titles to their name, they’ve never won the Big East Regular Season Championship.
