Future Out of Conference Games

There were rumors that Villanova was attempting to schedule a "Home and Home" with North Carolina for the 2008-09 and 09-10 seasons but that really never materialized.

'Nova was closer to inking a game in this upcoming season with Duke to be played at either the Meadowlands or at Madison Square Garden. Rumors have it that after the Blue Demons saw how well Villanova travels and draws in New York City (reference the St. John's game this year), that it really wouldn't be a neutral court game for the Durham squad.

Besides the traditional Big 5 opponents, the 2008-09 Season will see Villanova playing in the Philadelphia Basketball Tournament where the initial games that could include Canisius or Niagara would be at The Pavilion with the Final Game at the Plaestra.

Villanova will also be appearing in the Jimmy V. Classic at Madison Square Garden with a likely matchup against the University of Michigan or Gonzaga.

Looking a further 17 months ahead, Villanova will be playing in Puerto Rico in the 2009-10 season and will try to make it out to play in Southern California.
