Back in 2014, the Villanova Wildcats participated in the first-ever college basketball game to be played at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa., which normally houses the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League.
The Wildcats, who squared off against Lehigh then, downed the Mountain Hawks, 77-66, in a game designed as a homecoming of sorts for then-senior Darrun Hilliard—a native of nearby Bethlehem, Pa.
Fast forward nearly three years later, and the Wildcats have announced they will be returning back to the PPL Center for the first time since 2014 as part of a special doubleheader.
