Scottie Reynolds dashes the hopes of another "All Chalk" bracket



Remember that below post about the past couple days of the boredom of March Madness. Well, finally we got a solid taste of it with the Villanova Wildcats upsetting the Pittsburgh Panthers on a shot by guard Scottie Reynolds, 78-76.

I guess you really cannot call it an upset since they beat Pittsburgh by ten in the regular season. (I still have a bone to pick with the selection commitee over Pittsburgh getting a number one seed.)

Also, I still cannot figure out how Reynolds could pretty much go uncontested to the basket but that is just a testament to how good he is. Pittsburgh head coach Jamie Dixon will still be wondering about why DeJuan Blair for going for a steal and about LeVance Fields for pretty much guarding air on that possession.

Pittsburgh appeared to be heading for overtime when a costly inbounds pass by Villanova led to two free throws for Pittsburgh guard LeVance Fields.

However, Villanova came back off of a well designed inbounds play that had shades of Bryce Drew and Valpo, all over again. Villanova moves onto the Final Four for the first time since 1985. It's a good year for "Wildcats", huh?
