On Thursday morning, the Big East finalized its conference slate of games for the 2021-22 season.

The Villanova Wildcats announced the non-conference portion earlier this month, but the schedule is now complete.

The Wildcats open Big East play in Omaha, for a Friday night showdown against Creighton on Dec. 17. They’ll play their first home Big East game on Dec. 21, when they host Xavier.

They will play three opponents at Wells Fargo Center: Butler (Jan. 16), Connecticut (Feb. 5), and Seton Hall (Feb. 12).

They’ll end the regular season at Hinkle Fieldhouse, when they play Butler in their final conference game on March 5. The Big East Tournament is scheduled for March 9-12 at Madison Square Garden.
