Regardless of the outcome of Monday's game at Seton Hall, Villanova will be the two seed in next weekend's BIG EAST Tournament. The Wildcats enter play on Monday in second place in the league standings with a 16-3 conference record. Connecticut is in first place with a 17-2 mark, while Creighton sits in the third spot at 14-5. If Connecticut loses to Xavier and Villanova defeats Seton Hall on Monday, the two teams would share the BIG EAST regular season championship with identical 17-3 records. In that scenario, Villanova would be the two seed as a result of losing twice to Connecticut.  
 
The Wildcats and Pirates will meet for the 74^th time on Monday evening. Villanova currently leads the all-time series by a 48-25 margin. The Wildcats have won 11 of the last 14 versus Seton Hall.
 
In Friday's win over Providence, sophomore guard Lucy Olsen recorded her first career double-double with 11 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. This was her 20th double figure scoring game of the year. Olsen currently ranks second on the team in scoring at 12.5 points per game and she leads the team in assists with 129.
 
Villanova has been very good at taking care of the ball this season. After 30 games, the Wildcats have committed 306 total turnovers for an average of 10.2 per game which ranks second in the country. Colorado State leads the nation in fewest turnovers per game at 8.9.
