Villanova, Rider seeing progress in early going

After a season-opening loss in Rome, Villanova is beginning to find its footing. The Wildcats, fresh off a pair of comfortable victories, look to make it three wins in a row Saturday when they host Rider in nonconference action. Villanova (2-1) succumbed to Notre Dame in the waning minutes of its season opener, but the team has rebounded to win its last two games by a combined 50 points. Most recently, the Wildcats topped La Salle 80-59 as Luigi Suigo collected 19 points and 12 rebounds. Suigo, a 7-foot-3 freshman center from Italy, has 35 points, 27 rebounds, 10 assists, six blocks and three steals in the last two games. Devin Royal also has been productive over that two-game stretch, totaling 37 points and 17 boards. On the other hand, Wildcats guard Tyler Perkins is just 6 of 23 from the field (2 of 12 from 3-point range) over the last two games. "I think we're getting there," Villanova coach Kevin Willard said. "I think we're getting good shots. I don't think we're taking enough threes, to be honest with you. We've been doing so well throwing the ball inside to (Royal) and to Luigi, but I think we got

Rent is still a relative bargain compared to New York or DC, but the gap between a Rittenhouse high-rise and a rowhouse in South Philly is real, and so is the gap in commute, parking headaches, and whether you’ll actually use the park near your place. Here’s the cheat sheet before you dive in.
