Hickson, Reynolds Highlight Show

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Villanova point guard Scottie Reynolds and N.C. State center J.J. Hickson, a pair of underclassmen, are playing like they're used to the national TV stage.

Reynolds has come on in the last few minutes, getting a steal for an easy layup and feeding Dante Cunningham for a slam to keep Villanova ahead, 28-23, with 3:58 left in the first half.

After coming off the bench, Hickson has provided a nice inside presence for N.C. State. He just scored his first points while getting fouled, but he also picked up a goaltending call on the other end.

I'd still say Villanova is playing better basketball.
