VILLANOVA, PA. — Scottie Reynolds scored 18 points and sank the winning free throws with 4.8 seconds left to lift No. 15 Villanova to a 59-56 win over Saint Joseph’s on Thursday night.
Reynolds was fouled on a driving layup down the lane to put the Wildcats (9-1) in position for the victory over their city rival. The 87-percent free-throw shooter made the first and swished the second for a 57-56 lead.
Dante Cunningham stole in the in-bounds pass, was fouled and clinched the win with two free throws, sending the Villanova student section into a frenzy.

I watched that game was start to finish and was extremely impressed with Martelli’s boys. Anyone who thought he would allow his team to get blown out in that game was dreaming. St. Joes FINALLY got its offense together…I just wish that they had allowed Nivens to be a bigger factor in the last 6 minutes. All in all, they are definitely going to be a tough win for the A-10 teams.

The offense needs to revolve around Nivens. He needs to get at least one touch on every possession. They went to him early and he dominated which, in turn, opened up the three point line for Govens. I’m personally not a SJU fan but I was pulling for them for the good of the conference. I simply can’t believe they lost this game.
