Villanova has played two teams with contrasting styles and won by a combined total of 51 points against Columbia and Nicholls State.
For the fifth-ranked Wildcats (2-0), the next step is another nonconference game against Lafayette (0-2) Friday night at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pa. They will continue to play home games at the Wells Fargo Center and elsewhere since The Pavilion is undergoing a $60 million renovation this season.

"Two really contrasting (styles) in our first two games in which we play a Princeton style team in Columbia which was hard to guard and then we face a team that scored 111 points in their first game.
