Result:
LOSS

Call this a road game if you'd like but it really is not for the Wildcats. Most people have not noticed, but Nova has returned all five starters this season from the young team that made waves late last season in the Big East and NIT. Villanova could be dominant down low this season if their young horses Sunpter and Frazier continue to develop. The Wildcats are 6-1 ATS after a game outrebounding opponent by 15 or more over the last 3 seasons. Teams have slowly figured out Chaney's matchup zone over the last few seasons in part because many teams are running the same defense. This could be coming out party for the Wildcats. Two stars on Nova minus the points.
