Stop If You’re Heard This Before: Villanova has an injury to report. The Wildcats have been practicing for less than a week, and reserve Chris Charles has already become the first player to need surgery. He hurt his left wrist in practice and will need arthroscopic surgery to repair ligament damage. He averaged 1.8 points and 1.5 rebounds per game last season for Villanova. Coach Jay Wright did not indicate a timetable for Charles’ return.
