Villanova’s Rome Opener Could Make History
The Villanova Wildcats will be opening their season against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It will be under unusual circumstances, as this game will be played in Rome. Villanova freshman center, Luigi Suigo, will be playing in his home country of Italy to start the season, which is a pretty cool thing. The 7’3″, 289-pound center will look to make a major impact in front of his country.

VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — The Villanova freshman billed as the “Italian Wemby” wants to clear the air that, no, he never actually compared himself to San Antonio sensation Victor Wembanyama.

The Wildcats are still working to regain the status they enjoyed when they won national championships in 2016 and 2018, and they’ll be looking to reach the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive year.
