The Villanova Wildcats (7-6, 1-1 Big East) will conclude an unpredictable 2022 by facing off against head coach Shaka Smart and the Marquette Golden Eagles (10-4, 2-1 Big East) at 2 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.
Coach Kyle Neptune and staff will look to bounce back from a tough game against UConn on Wednesday night, where the Cats had an uncharacteristic 18 turnovers in the eight-point loss.
They’ll need to reverse that trend as Marquette will be bringing their “Havoc” defense which specializes on producing turnovers and turning up the pressure. Smart will also attempt to defeat Villanova for a third straight game, after his Golden Eagles completed the regular season series sweep last season.
