Villanova Wildcats Men's Basketball History

Villanova University first fielded a men's basketball team in 1921, and eventually became a mainstay in Philadelphia-area college hoops. The program took off in the 1980 after joining the Big East Conference, which for years became the premier league in the sport. In 1985 under coach Rollie Massimino, the Wildcats, led by Ed Pinckney and Dwayne McClain, made the Final Four and held off reigning champion Georgetown to win the national championship. Villanova was an 8 seed in that tournament, which is still the record for the lowest seed ever to win the title.

In 2013, the "new" Big East was born after multiple teams left the conference. Villanova remained, and has dominated both Philadelphia-area basketball and the Big East in recent years. The Wildcats, under coach Jay Wright, won the Big East tournament in 2017, 2018 and 2019, and the regular season conference title in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.

They again shocked the world in 2016, when Kris Jenkins made a game-winning three-pointer to give the Cats a 77-74 victory over North Carolina to garner their second national championship. The Wildcats' third title run was more dominant, with Villanova winning each game in the 2018 NCAA tournament by at least 12 points, including a 79-62 beatdown of Michigan in the final. The team is currently coached by Kyle Neptune.

Villanova Wildcats at Finneran Pavilion

The Villanova Wildcats play at the William B. Finneran Pavilion, which originally opened in 1986 but was completely renovated during the 2017-18 season, and currently seats 6,500. However, the 20,478-seat Wells Fargo Center in South Philadelphia, home of the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers and NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, hosts several important Villanova home games each season. It was the full-time home for the Cats during the Pavilion renovation.
