Villanova is looking to bounce back after a frustrating mid-week loss, and they’ll host a Furman team that has made some noise in the young season. The Paladins were in the news when Jordan Lyons went 15-34 from downtown earlier this week, but the more impressive feat was their 60-58 win over last year’s Cinderella Loyola-Chicago.
Furman is 4-0 - two of those wins have come against non-D1 competition - but they’ll present a nice opportunity for the ‘Cats to play a competent team adn hopefully rediscover some confidence in the process.
This one has an odd start time with it being College Football Saturday, with the added bonus of being on a channel that not everybody gets.
