Villanova closes its four-match home stand with two BIG EAST matchups: St. John’s on Friday and Seton Hall on Saturday, with both matches starting at 7 p.m. The Wildcats are 10-9 overall after splitting last week’s games, beating Georgetown before losing to Creighton.

By the Numbers
  • Villanova: 10-9 overall, 3-5 in BIG EAST play.
  • St. John’s: 15-6 overall, 5-3 in BIG EAST play.
  • Seton Hall: 8-12 overall, 0-8 in BIG EAST play.
  • Villanova leads the all-time series against St. John’s, 18-14, and Seton Hall, 22-12.
Yes, But

Villanova enters the weekend looking to build on its win over Georgetown, but its four-set loss to Creighton showed the challenge of facing top conference competition. St. John’s is near the top of the BIG EAST standings, though it comes in after two straight losses; Seton Hall is still seeking its first conference win.

State of Play
  • Villanova hosts St. John’s Friday and Seton Hall Saturday at Jake Nevin Fieldhouse.
  • Both matches stream on ESPN+.
  • The Wildcats beat Seton Hall in their last four meetings and won their most recent matchup with St. John’s in September 2025.
What's Next

Villanova can strengthen its conference position with a strong home stand, but faces different tests: a St. John’s team with a winning league record and a Seton Hall team seeking a breakthrough.

Bottom Line

Two home wins would give Villanova a meaningful boost in BIG EAST play; protecting home court starts with containing St. John’s high-powered attack.
