Villanova relies on 'power of the pope' going into Rome doubleheader against Notre Dame
VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — Kevin Willard and his family have vacationed in Italy often enough that the Villanova coach could probably get a side hustle as a tour guide. The Catholic coach at the Augustinian university has marveled at the Sistine Chapel — named after Pope Sixtus IV, an art patron who oversaw the construction of the main papal chapel in the 15th century — and other sites he hoped his team could visit ahead of its season-opener in Italy on Sunday.

Opinion: Villanova Mishandles Big 5 Exit
The Villanova men’s basketball program says it is rooted in those who came before them, but its handling of a recent decision says otherwise. Last Thursday, the Big 5 announced it would be continuing its current format in the 2027-28 season, but without Villanova. The other five programs – Saint Joseph’s, Drexel, Temple, La Salle and the University of Pennsylvania – all came to an agreement on continuing the current format. However, Villanova would not participate in that and proposed a new format for the Big 5 that would allow the program with the highest NET ranking from the year prior to omit a Big 5 road game from its schedule.
