It hasn’t happened often so far this season, but the Villanova Wildcats are finally back in the comfort of their own home.
The No. 19-ranked Wildcats (9-4, 2-1 Big East) are playing in just their fifth home game this season, and their third since mid-November. After picking up back-to-back wins, Villanova will try to keep the streak rolling and avenge an earlier loss to Creighton.
The Bluejays (10-3, 2-0 Big East) also enter Wednesday night’s showdown with back-to-back wins. They defeated the ‘Cats, then survived in double-overtime against Marquette. Creighton had lost out on games against DePaul and Georgetown for COVID-related reasons and definitely looked rusty as it collapsed late to allow Marquette back into the game.
