CLEARWATER, Fla. - The first two days of play at the Under Armour Invitational hosted by South Florida were almost entirely wiped out by heavy rains in the area, causing schedule changes for all of the participating teams over the final two days of the tournament.

Because of the heavy rain, Villanova will be forced to play five tournament games on Saturday and Sunday to close out its Spring Break trip to the Sunshine State. The Wildcats began a game against Long Island on Friday evening and will continue that game on Saturday morning starting at 9:30 a.m.

Later in the day, Villanova will take on Purdue at 1:30 p.m. and then play Chattanooga at 8:30 p.m.

On Sunday, the Wildcats will face Missouri at 11 a.m. and Central Michigan at 1:30 p.m.

Villanova will return home from its Spring Break trip having played 10 games in the Sunshine State. Prior to the Under Armour Invitational, the Wildcats played five games the previous weekend at the Altamonte Springs Tournament.
