NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware men's basketball team will face Big East powerhouse Villanova on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 4:30 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Center in a game that will be televised by Fox Sports 1.
The matchup will be the second time the Blue Hens and Wildcats will face off in Philadelphia, as Villanova posted a 78-59 victory over Delaware at the Wells Fargo Center on Dec. 18, 2010.
The Wildcats have won all previous 12 meetings with the Blue Hens, including victories in each of the past five seasons. Villanova went 29-5 last season when the Wildcats captured the Big East regular season title, earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament and advanced to the round of 32.
