Closer than it looked

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Georgetown ran away at the end and beat Villanova 82-63. Obviously, this was a game that was a lot closer than the score would indicate, and Villanova really hopes the selection committee sees that.

When I said that Wallace locked up player of the game, even if he took the second half off, I didn't think he actually would, but he only had one point after the break and finished with 20. Jessie Sapp led the Hoyas with 23.

As a team, the Hoyas shot an insane 17-27 from beyond the arc, for 63%. Nobody beats Georgetown if they shoot like that.

Villanova only made 17 total shots and only hit 33% from the floor.

West Virginia and Connecticut are already warming up for game two. The winner will take on Georgetown tomorrow.
