At long last, the season is finally here. The 6th-ranked Villanova Wildcats will officially begin their 2017-2018 campaign at home against the Columbia Lions on Friday night.
The game will also be the first of a season-long venture at the Wells Fargo Center while the Pavilion gets its much needed facelift. It will be interesting to see the fan turnout for what amounts to a weekend game, albeit against a bad opponent.
The ‘Cats should have no problem handling Columbia (knock on wood), and it should give Jay Wright and his staff the opportunity to experiment with what looks to be a deep roster filled with talent.
