The Big East Conference has announced the opponents that each school will face during the 2012-2013 conference schedule. The full schedule will be revealed at a later date, but for now, this gives fans a good look at the home and away games that their teams will face next season. Here's the official release from the Big East.
Here is Villanova's breakdown.
Home Games
Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, St. John’s, USF, Syracuse
Away GamesCincinnati, Connecticut, DePaul, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Seton Hall, USF, Syracuse
Remember, since the hill people left the conference, everybody will play 4 home/away opponents this season instead of 3 like in years past.
Villanova will play Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Providence and USF twice - which on paper seems like a pretty difficult draw. However, I can't help but be happy that we get to play Pitt and 'Cuse twice before they leave the conference.
Full list of opponents for each team is after The Jump.
