The 2023-24 college basketball season is ready to begin!
Villanova is tipping off the season in the comfort of the Finneran Pavilion. The Wildcats are hosting the American University Eagles, who went 17-17 overall and 7-11 in the Patriot League last season.
American is looking to start a new era under former George Mason assistant Duane Simpkins. Monday night’s game is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET.
A step forward for American
While Villanova is eager to bounce back from last year’s up-and-down season, American is also feeling hopeful with a fresh start. Not only does it have a new coach at the helm, but it returns a majority of its top contributors from last season, while welcoming a couple of transfers and new freshmen.
