Villanova survives day of upsets
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Scottie Reynolds learned a lesson starting the game on the bench.
Once in the game, he delivered a teachable moment of his own to 15th-seeded Robert Morris: Don’t let a Final Four-tested team like Villanova off the hook.
Reynolds was benched, his shot wasn’t falling and his Wildcats were on the brink of having their NCAA tournament run end in the biggest of upsets. He responded with a clutch performance at the foul line in the final minutes of regulation, and No. 2 seed Villanova survived a scare from Robert Morris in a 73-70 overtime victory Thursday in the NCAA tournament.
‘‘I always think we’re going to win, I always think we’re going to find a way,’’ coach Jay Wright said.
Trailing 55-47 with 4:19 left in the second half, Reynolds attacked the basket and led a fearless rally from the free-throw lin.
