To the Villanova Wildcat faithful-
The Pennsylvania Quakers will clash with the Wildcats, for the 57th time this evening. When Jay Wright first arrived on the Main Line as head coach, for the 2001-02 season, the Wildcats lost to Penn, during both of his first two seasons at the helm. But things sure have changed since December 2002- Wright and the Wildcats will try to make tonight their seventh straight victory over their City Series rivals.
Penn is also winless at the Pavilion, the site of tonight's game, with a 7 PM tip-off. Their first Pavilion visit was on December 2, 1987 - an 84-55 blowout - and in five subsequent visits, the Quakers have never pulled off an upset.
