PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -Scottie Reynolds responded to his benching with a solid performance at the foul line, and second-seeded Villanova survived a scare from Robert Morris in a 73-70 overtime win Thursday in the NCAA tournament.
Coach Jay Wright benched his senior star to make a “teaching point.” Reynolds missed 13 of 15 shots from the floor, but he made seven of eight free throws in the final 3:06 of regulation to send the game into overtime.
Reynolds finished with 20 points for the Wildcats (25-7), who hung on as they try and make the Final Four for the second straight season.
f-balance 3 at the buzzer was no good.
The Colonials left the court to a standing ovation.
