Villanova’s game on Super Sunday at Xavier was postponed Tuesday because of COVID-19 issues in the Musketeers’ program and replaced with a home game against Georgetown that had been slated for Feb. 17.
Wright acknowledged Tuesday that coach Mark Few of top-ranked Gonzaga, also freed up this weekend and eager to test his West Coast Conference team, had called about potentially setting up a No. 1 vs. No. 3 showdown on Super Bowl Sunday.
“Oh, definitely. He does all the time. He’s the master scheduler,” Wright said.
“But I told him, I said: `Our priority has to be the Big East first. If we can get a Big East game, we’ve got to play the Big East game. We owe it to the Big East.'”
