After a win over Lehigh in which they needed a strong second half to come out victorious, the Villanova Wildcats look to push their 2014 record to 2-0 as they take on UMES
It's the first game in The Pavilion for the 'Cats -- a place where they didn't lose a single game last season. In order to ease the minds of fans, they will without a doubt need to get off to a faster start then Friday against Lehigh, in which Nova went down by as much as five.
Meanwhile, Maryland-Eastern Shore comes into this game after getting drubbed by Virginia Tech 71-46. The Shore Hawks finished with an absolutely atrocious shooting percentage from the field against the Hokies (27.7%) and their leading point scorer, freshman Ryan Andino came off of the bench. They also don't have a real go-to scorer, as they returned one of their three leading scorers from last season's team which finished 6-24.
