With BIG EAST action opening Wednesday night, here is each team’s outlook entering the start of the conference season:
Villanova Wildcats (12-0, 0-0)
After Wednesday’s game against DePaul, Villanova will play the two teams that gave the Wildcats their three losses — Marquette and Butler.
But as Villanova seeks revenge, there will be another weapon: depth.
Villanova head coach Jay Wright uses five different players on at least 20 percent of possessions, a significant improvement from three players above the 20 percent plateau last year.
This has already paid dividends in big games. In its only game against a ranked team this season, an 88-72 victory against then-No.
