Per CBS' Jon Rothstein, your Villanova Wildcats will face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish as part of a doubleheader in Newark, N.J. on December 10th next season. The game has been rumored since Irish head coach Mike Brey talked about how the game was in the works in back in December.
This is a positive development for the out-of-conference schedule. Notre Dame has been successful program since joining the ACC and has been to the last two Elite Eights in the NCAA Tournament. Adding them to a non-conference schedule that already features Virginia and Purdue is a coup and should provide another strong test for a Wildcats squad that will be integrating several new players to the rotation.
