The Big East schedule maker has a tough job in this season of COVID, rescheduling games for Villanova and other teams
At least 18 conference games have been postponed so far. The Wildcats, who are on their second pause because of positive COVID tests, have had seven games postponed and won't play again until Jan. 19.

->Jackson built in byes in case games needed to be rescheduled – two league-wide play dates plus one to three additional byes per team. While almost two months remain until the planned March 10 start of the Big East Tournament, the days are running low for all 11 teams to get the scheduled 20 league games in.
“We have our latest draft of the schedule (Monday) and it still contemplates everyone playing 20 games,” he said. “But again, being at that tipping point, if we get further pauses, I think that’s going to be near-impossible to do for all 11 teams.”<-
