Providence vs. Villanova moved to Sunday due to Winter Storm Jonas

For the second time in as many seasons, a Providence Friars game has been rescheduled due to a snowstorm.

While last season it was a Friars home game against DePaul, this year it is a road game against the Villanova Wildcats at the Wells Fargo Center.

Weather Alert: This weekend's #BIGEASTmbb match up between #4 @NovaMBB & #16 @PCFriarsmbb has been moved to Sunday at 1pm ET on @FOXSports

Winter Storm Jonas is expected to dump 10 to 16 inches of snow on Philadelphia on Saturday afternoon, so rescheduling the game was the only option the Big East had.
