Villanova Basketball 2021-22 game preview: Butler Bulldogs

The ‘Cats are back at the Wells Fargo Center for the first time since February of 2020 and they square off against a familiar Big East pest.

No. 14 Villanova (12-4, 5-1 Big East) will host Butler (9-6, 2-2 Big East) in Philadelphia on Sunday. The game can be seen on FS1 at 12pm EST.

The Bulldogs are tied for the second most Big East wins (5) against Nova since the realignment in 2013-14. The ‘Cats swept Butler during the first three seasons Butler was in the Big East, but are just 6-5 against the Bulldogs since ‘16-’17.
