Scottie Reynolds clinched the win for Villanova with this layup with less than one second remaining. Pitt fell behind early and came back late, but it wasn't enough. They had many opportunities to win this game, but just couldn't close it out.
What a game. I was stunned by Scottie Reynolds basket. It felt like Pitt was going to save their season at the end. I'll never forget the "baseball pass" play either.
Awesome win for Villanova! Glad I didn't pick Pitt to go to the Final Four in my bracket
that was a smart pick - Nova is on fire right now! And it is impressive that you called that before it all started....can you share your bracket with me first next year? ;)
I did pick Pitt to win that bracket. Scottie Reynolds made great moves to the basket, BUT, As far as Pitt is concerned? THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AND VERY UNACCEPTABLE.
THEY SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER:" When you celebrate before the game is over you will lose your intensity."
And as a result they were standing around and watched Scottie go straight to the rim.

Congratulations Villanova. A job very well done!
Reminds me of UK vs. LSU in football 5 or 6 years ago...
awesome game for sure, happy for Vilanova BUT!!!!!! Their last shot should not have counted. Look close he goes up for the shot and doesn't release the ball until he comes down on his left foot. Old school would have caught that.. Too Bad
Yeah, but someone from Pitt should have decided to play defense for the last 5 seconds. It's almost as if they were so afraid of fouling that they just let the play go by them
