Villanova gets to stay around for a few more days, thanks to a big second half and overtime performance from Scottie Reynolds and a lot of help from the referee's whistle.
Reynolds scored 18 of his team-high 20 points in the second half and overtime, including two free throws with 9.1 seconds left in the extra session, to lead the Wildcats to a 73-70 victory over Robert Morris in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.
Villanova takes on the winner of the Richmond-St. Mary's game.
RMU fans gave the Colonials a well-deserved standing ovation. Robert Morris deserved to win this game, not Villanova.
