Villanova hosts cross-town rival Penn tonight at the Pavilion in the Wildcats' third Big 5 game of the season, and their final tuneup before Xavier comes to town on New Year's Eve. With just under a week off since last week's win over Delaware, some rust wouldn't be surprising for both teams while they shake off the holiday break.
The Quakers shouldn't present too much of a problem for 'Nova, but they did give them a good fight last season at the Palestra. If 'Nova doesn't look ahead, this should be a nice tuneup for Thursday night.
Game Time, TV Schedule: 7:00pm ET.
