PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Last April, Villanova the city of Philadelphia celebrated the school's second NCAA National Championship with a parade attended by more than 70,000 people. On Saturday, Nov. 5, the Wildcats will mark the start of a new season by unveiling a banner to honor the 2016 NCAA title prior to the team's exhibition game against Indiana University of Pennsylvania at the Wells Fargo Center.

Admission to this game, which tips off at noon, is free.

"This is a great way for our team to say thank you to the Nova Nation and the city of Philadelphia for their support," stated head coach Jay Wright.

Doors will open at 10:30 a.m. Thirty minutes later Wright and members of the Wildcats will take part in a pregame talk with fans. Then, at 11:500 a.m., the 2016 NCAA title banner will be unveiled inside the Center, where it will hang permanently alongside a similar banner saluting the Wildcats' 1985 NCAA Championship. The first 1,000 fans to enter the building will receive a free t-shirt.

In addition to its exhibition contest, Villanova will host four regular season games at the Wells Fargo Center, including Jan. 7 vs. Marquette, Jan. 21 vs. Providence, Jan. 29 vs. Virginia, and Feb. 4 vs. St. John's. Ticket packages for these games go on sale on Oct. 27.
