8:30 p.m., Friday, 28 November, at the Palestra
TV: None
Line: OFF

After cruising to a win against low-major Monmouth University earlier this week, Villanova opens bracket play in the Philly Hoop Group Classic with a matchup tonight against Towson.

For Villanova, center Casiem Drummond should return from a one-game suspension for a disciplinary issue. Senior swingman Dwayne Anderson remains out with a foot injury.

Towson hails from the recently vogue Colonial Athletic Association, and so far the Tigers have amassed a 3-1 record. Towson's only loss came on the road against common opponent Niagara by a score of 79-62.

Twentieth-ranked Villanova should win easily tonight in its first game away from campus.

If the Wildcats win, they will face the winner of Penn State and Rhode Island tomorrow in the Palestra. Should disaster strike and Towson pulls off the upset, Villanova will face the losing team tomorrow in the loser's bracket.

The game will not be televised, but audio may be available through Villanova's gametracker service.
