Villanova Basketball 2021-22 game preview: UConn Huskies

The cat and dog fight is back on Tuesday — the Villanova Wildcats (21-6) and UConn Huskies (19-7) face off for their second meeting of the season in an AP top 25 matchup. It’s been just upwards of two weeks since Villanova’s 85-74 victory over UConn at the Wells Fargo Center.

The last matchup between these two was nothing short of eventful: a technical foul on the entire Huskies bench, a deja vu moment of horror for Nova Nation as Colin Gillespie injured his foot, and a altercation between Caleb Daniels and multiple Connecticut players. Round two should be just as intense, as both teams look to continue to bolster their tournament resumes with every chance they get.
