PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas – Jay Wright’s Villanova team is ranked No. 5 among 351 Division I programs. The Wildcats coach doesn’t exactly think his squad has yet earned that ranking.
“We’ve been good for the last few years, so they put us in there. We’ll see what we are coming out of this tournament.”
Wednesday’s matchup against the Wildcats (3-0) will offer WKU (2-1) a chance to pull off a massive upset early in the college basketball season. Tipoff from Imperial Arena is set for 1:30 p.m., with the game broadcast on ESPN2.
The Wildcats have won 389 games since Wright arrived in 2001 to Philadelphia.
