Question 2/21/06:Why did Villanova, Georgetown's last opponent, play only three games off-campus at the Wachovia Center this year?
Answer:
Villanova opted to play only three games at the Wachovia Center this year because the Wachovia Center will be hosting the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament this March. Based on NCAA rules, no team can be assigned to their home court for NCAA Tournament games. By playing only three games there, Wachovia is not considered Villanova's home court. The Wildcats will now hope that the NCAA Tournament committee asssigns them to the Philadelphia site for the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
