After a *perfect non-conference schedule, Villanova begins the gauntlet of Big East play with a road trip. Things start off with a trip to brand spankin’ new Wintrust Arena to see DePaul. So, nothing too scary.
But DePaul has been...not a total tire-fire? The Blue Demons have won the games you’d expect them to win and lost the games you’d expect them to lose. That’s a step in the right direction, even without the services of Billy Garrett Jr.
Instead, they’ll rely on Eli Cain and Max Strus to pave the way, and Dave Leitao has relatively solid depth at his disposal for the first time since his first go-round.
