Happy Friday, ‘Nova Nation! The #5 Villanova Wildcats will head to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut this weekend to participate in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament. Readers will recall that the Wildcats were big fans of the Mohegan Sun Arena last year - electing to stay in “Bubbleville” for an extra game after winning the 2K Empire Classic.
This year, the ‘Cats will tip off against the #17 Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday (1:00p.m.) and will face either #18 North Carolina or #6 Purdue on Sunday. If the Wildcats can escape Connecticut with two Top-25 wins, the hype train is back on the tracks.
