Report: Texas basketball to host Villanova in Big 12/Big East Battle next season
Posted April 22nd, 2020
Texas had already scheduled a home-and-home series with Gonzaga. The Zags are scheduled to play the Horns in Austin on Nov. 13 this season, then play in Spokane, Wash., next season.
Villanova, which tied for the Big East championship, went 24-7 before the coronavirus brought the season to a sudden stop. Coach Jay Wright’s Wildcats finished 10th in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll.
Texas traveled to Providence last season and lost 70-48 as part of the Big 12/Big East Battle.
The Longhorns are 2-1 in the all-time series against the Wildcats but have not played since the 2008-09 season.
According to CBS Sports, other matchups include St. John’s-Texas Tech, Creighton-Kansas and Baylor-Seton Hall.
