The Howard Bison have quite the challenge ahead of them as they're expected to be blown off the court.

Howard will be strutting in after a win while the Wildcats will be stumbling in from a loss.

Meanwhile, Villanova came up short against the UCLA Bruins last week, falling 86-77. Despite the defeat, Villanova had strong showings from forward Jermaine Samuels, who shot 5-for-8 from downtown and finished with 20 points and five rebounds, and guard Collin Gillespie, who had 18 points.

Howard is now a perfect 3-0 while Villanova sits at 1-1.
