Good evening from Villanova!

Game #1 on the year for myself, the Wildcats and Lafayette. With the Leopards picked 9th in the Patriot League preseason poll and Villanova picked fourth out of the Big East, both teams tonight look to start strong.

Halftime!

Good defense for the Crusaders prevent Prep from finding nylon before halftime. Good quarter for Tide’s Reece Craft, with six points and five rebounds but Judge keeps control heading to the final 16 minutes.

Liam McNeeley is officially OUT for Wednesday’s Villanova-UConn game.

A huge blow for the Huskies, as the star freshman has been a major impact player for Dan Hurley all season and UConn will miss him on the offensive end, especially against a high-powered, high-scoring Villanova offense.

Villanova 36
Seton Hall 26
2:19 | 1H

A stellar sequence started by a Josiah Moseley steal leading to a lay-in by Jhamir Brickus and Finneran’s as loud as it’s been all season. Sound the trumpets - just over two minutes to go in the half.

Just over a half-hour away from Villanova-Seton Hall from the Finneran Pavilion. In what marks the Big East opener for both teams, it’s also the Wildcats’ first game in six days and a chance to make it five straight.
