Some very cool news out of the Athletics Department today as the Villanova Wildcats will host the Penn Quakers at Jake Nevin Fieldhouse in late November.
It was always a stretch that every home game would be scheduled at the Wells Fargo Center, but we assumed this matchup may end up at the Palestra given the Big 5’s history.
I have mixed thoughts on this, but I think it’s mostly a very cool idea that hasn’t been fully thought through.
Villanova is taking advantage of a one-off season and doing something special that they wouldn’t normally do.
