The Villanova Wildcats will head up to Milwaukee to meet the Marquette Golden Eagles in Big East play from the Fiserv Forum on FS1. Villanova leads the all-time series, 27-15, but Marquette has won the last three meetings, including a New Year's Eve win in Milwaukee.
Villanova dropped to 10-11 after losing to Providence at home. The Wildcats blew a slim halftime lead and fell to the Friars by five points. Villanova is scoring 70.4 points per game, while allowing 68.5 ppg and shooting 43.7% from the field.
Villanova’s first season without Jay Wright had endured its growing pains, and it’s likely they miss the Big Dance for the first time since the 2011-12 season. The Wildcats are 4-6 in Big East play, with a 3-5 record on the road. Senior guard Caleb Daniels will look to respond after a slow outing against Providence, but he leads Nova in scoring (16.2) and assists (3.1), while grabbing 4.6 rpg. Junior forward Eric Dixon is scoring an identical 15.7 and grabbing a team-lead 6.5 rpg. True freshman Cam Whitmore paced the team with 21 points versus the Friars, and he’s third on the team at 13.1 ppg and 5.4 rpg.
