Villanova will meet VCU (the Rams are technically the home team) at the Barclays tonight in the the first semifinal of the Legends Classic. Michigan and Oregon will meet in the second semifinal following the game. The 'Cats sit at 3-0 on the year, their latest win being a nailbiter over Bucknell 72-65.
The Rams, led by head coach Shaka Smart and his 'Havoc' defense, enter with an identical 3-0 record. Suffocating defense is a given, but VCU's uptempo pace has their offense ranked 9th in the country in points per game (92.7). Villanova will need to be at their best to come away with the win.
