Source confirms Syracuse will schedule Villanova in basketball



Villanova is headed to the Dome this coming season as part of a 1-1-1 series with the game in Syracuse, a return meeting the following season at the Wells Fargo Center, and in the 2015-16 season a game at Madison Square Garden that could be part of a college basketball doubleheader.

Cuse going on the road in the non-conference? Never thought I'd see the day.

I have a hard time considering MSG as a 'neutral' location...although it is nice to get more exposure in NYC.

When it says doubleheader does it mean a broadcast double feature or a MSG double bill?

You know, back in the day they used to do double and triple headers with Big Five teams (and visitors) in the Palestra. I know teams these days don't like to share their revenue, but could you imagine a Saturday of, say, Seton Hall v. (someone), then Nova v. St. Johns, followed by Georgetown v. Duke back to back to back in the Garden?

Never gonna happen, I know, but it would be fun.
