About The Villanova University Wildcats
Villanova enters the 2007-2008 season with an all-time winning percentage of .637, placing the Wildcats 20th among all NCAA Division I basketball programs. Their official uniform colors are blue and white and they play their home games at the 6,500 capacity The Pavilion. The team played its first game in 1920 in Alumni Hall on Villanova's campus, beating Catholic University with 43-40. In the early years, their home courts were Alumni Hall and West Catholic High School. In 1932 the Wildcats moved into the Villanova Field House, and also played many home games at the Palestra on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania beginning in 1929.
The Wildcats played home games in both the Villanova Field House and the Palestra until 1986. They earned an at-large bid to the 2007 NCAA Tournament, where they lost in the first round to the Kentucky Wildcats, and their 2006-07 free throw percentage of .781 led the NCAA, and set a Villanova season record.
