No. 1 Villanova faces tough Seton Hall squad

PHILADELPHIA -- Top-ranked Villanova will battle a formidable Big East opponent in Seton Hall Sunday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center.

Since the new conference was put together, the Pirates and Butler have three wins apiece over the Wildcats, tied for the most of any school.

In Thursday's 20-point win over Creighton, Villanova tied a program mark by draining 19 shots from beyond the 3-point arc. The task for the Wildcats (21-1, 8-1 Big East) will be difficult once again against Seton Hall (17-5, 6-3).

Villanova can't expect to hit 19 shots each game from 3-point territory.
