NCAA Tournament | Villanova upends Pitt, advances to Final Four

Penn's Big 5 rival Villanova advanced to the Final Four tonight by outlasting No. 1 seeded Pittsburgh, 78-76, in Boston.

After Pitt G Levance Fields nailed two clutch free throws to tie the game with 5.5 seconds remaining, Villanova G Scottie Reynolds took the inbounds pass and drove the length of the court for a game-winning layup as time expired. Dwayne Anderson led the Wildcats with 17 points, while Pitt's Sam Young racked up 28 in a losing effort.

Villanova takes on the winner of tomorrow's North Carolina-Oklahoma game in the Final Four next weekend.
