Weekend meeting with Villanova a crucial one for Seton Hall

The battle for supremacy in the Big East Conference moves to the Wells Fargo Center this weekend as Seton Hall visits Villanova for the first time this season.

Sitting at 9-1 in conference play after a win over Georgetown, Seton Hall is tasked with maintaining its place atop the Big East standings against a Villanova squad that enters the weekend two games behind the Pirates following a heartbreaking buzzer-beating loss against Butler on Wednesday. Saturday’s winner not only places itself in prime position to win the Big East regular season title, but adds another high-profile win to its resume.
