Villanova earned a much-needed bounce-back victory over Holy Cross in their home opener, according to a report by Greg Patuto for SB Nation.
The win comes after the Wildcats participated in the Eternal City Tip-Off in Rome, Italy, where they faced Notre Dame on November 1, 2026. A photo from that game shows Villanova's Luigi Suigo reacting during the contest at Palazzo dello Sport.
Further details on the score and key performers were not provided in the initial report.
