VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Fourth-ranked Villanova looks to extend one of the most pronounced streaks in program history when it hosts Big 5 rival Pennsylvania on Wednesday night in a rare home game at the Jake Nevin Field House.
The Wildcats (6-0) will be searching for their 19th consecutive Big 5 victory when they host the Quakers (5-3) at the Field House, which opened in 1931. The Big 5 consists of Villanova, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple and La Salle.
Villanova's home arena on campus, The Pavilion, is undergoing a $60 million renovation this season. A win over Penn would be the Wildcats' 15th straight in the series.
