Sunday, November 1st, ND plays Villanova at 9:30 am Eastern Time in Rome.

I'm not entirely sure who thought this was good idea or why exactly.

Seems like a public relations coup for Villanova which gets to celebrate having a Villanova grad ascend to The Papacy...by dominating ND Basketball in Rome.

(And Villanova is only, maybe, a top 40 program this year.)
