Jay Wright's Villanova squad will be featured in 30 nationally televised games for the 2014-15 season.
'Nova will open the season in an exhibition against Rollie Massimino's Northwood squad celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the 1985 Championship team. The 'Cats will next host an exhibition against Nyack College at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday, November 9th. Following that, the first official game of the season will be an effort to celebrate Darrun Hilliard's four years on the Main Line, as the 'Cats will travel to the new PPL Center in Allentown, PA to face the Lehigh Mountain Hawks. Villanova will be designated as the home team for the contest.
The Wildcats’ non-conference schedule will be highlighted with a trip to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the Legends Classic where they will face the VCU Rams and then either the Michigan Wolverines or Oregon Ducks. A visit to Madison Square Garden to play the Illinois Fighting Illini as part of the Jimmy V Classic, and a home date with the Syracuse Orange at the Wells Fargo Center wrap up an impressive OOC slate, a point of emphasis following the perceived SOS weakness within the BIG EAST.
‘Nova will also continue their participation in the Philadelphia Big 5 with games against Temple, La Salle, St. Joseph's (PA), and Penn.
The Wildcats will open the conference slate at home on New Year's Eve against Butler Bulldogs. The 230pm ET game will be aired on Fox Sports 1 as the network will broadcast a 5-game marathon featuring all the teams on December 31st.
