| Congrats Villanova Wildcats!!!!! |
| Postgame - |
| This Villanova team can be very dangerous down the road. I always say the teams with the better guard play will have a really good chance of winning games in this tournament and the Wildcats have a pair of excellent guards. The game against Siena should be very fun to watch this upcoming weekend. |
| Postgame - |
| The Tampa games of the Midwest and West regions have been truly crazy ones. For the first time in NCAA tournament history all lower seeds advance in one region. The 12th ranked Western Kentucky and 13th ranked San Diego advanced earlier in the day and tonight the 12th ranked Villanova as well as the 13th ranked Siena also will move on to the second round. |
| Postgame - |
| The Villanova Wildcats lead by their young and very talented backcourt dominated in the second half and hit 11 of their last 12 free throws to secure the victory. Scottie Reynolds gets player of the game honors, he scored 21 points, grabbed four rebounds and dished out four assists. |
| Final - |
| The Wildcats once down by 18 points turned this game around and outscore the Tigers 48-30 in the deciding second half. VILL 75 - CLEM 68 |
