VILLANOVA, Pa., - Villanova is set to meet Robert Morris Sunday afternoon in a charity exhibition game to benefit Team Impact. It is the first on-campus exhibition contest since the Wildcats hosted Drexel in Jake Nevin Field House ahead of the 2017-18 regular season.
 
The game tips off at 12:05 p.m. Former Wildcats Steve Pinone and Kris Jenkins will describe the action on a Villanova Flo Sports live stream. The Villanova IHeart Radio Network will also be courtside with Ryan Fannon and Whitey Rigsby beginning their 27^th season together as the radio voices of Villanova Men's Basketball.
 
Team Impact matches children facing serious illness and disability with college sports teams, creating a long-term, life-changing experience for everyone involved.
 
In 2024-25 returnees Eric Dixon and Jordan Longino serve as the anchors of the Wildcats' attack. They are joined by five transfers. That group includes guard Jhamir Brickus (La Salle); forward Enoch Boakye (Fresno State); guard Kris Parker (Alabama); guard Tyler Perkins (Penn) and guard Wooga Poplar. Dixon was named Preseason First Team All-BIG EAST in a vote by the league's head coaches while Poplar was a third team choice.
 
Following the game, Villanova's official collective "Friends of Nova" will host an autograph session for fans. Both the Wildcats' women's squad – which opens its regular season at Finneran Pavilion on Nov. 10 vs. Wake Forest – and the men's team will sign autographs once the exhibition game is finished.
 
Robert Morris finished 10-22 in 2023-24. It is led by head coach Andy O'Toole.
