Villanova will make the return trip to “The Dunk” Wednesday night to take on the Providence Friars. Ed Cooley’s squad faced off against the ‘Cats just a few weeks ago at the Wells Fargo Center and Villanova came away with a 89-69 win.
Since then, the Friars have been streaky, to say the least. They followed up the loss to Villanova with a loss at Seton Hall, before winning in a tough environment at Marquette. They needed a late rally to take down Georgetown at home, and just this past Saturday they were thoroughly outplayed at home by a below-average DePaul squad.
