Daily News | Villanova men triumph over Houston in a battle to reach the Final Four, 50-44
SAN ANTONIO — They may be limping into New Orleans, but the Villanova Wildcats will show up at the Superdome next weekend after one of the most satisfying March runs in school history, even if this game was finished in slow motion.
Nothing was easy about it. As that Final Four hung in the balance, a Villanova lead just into double digits, that trip to New Orleans so close Wildcats fans could taste the beignets, Villanova went over six minutes with only one field goal. This group is the fourth of the Jay Wright era to make the Final Four, and is still undefeated this March.
Justin Moore got to a loose ball with 35.4 seconds left, tying it up, and tried to get up, couldn’t. Teammates helped him rise to the foot that wasn’t injured, but he needed help off the court. He stayed there as a last-minute Houston shot missed off the rim, then Eric Dixon secured the rebound. Gillespie made two free throws. When it was over, teammates moved to Moore at the end of the bench, since he couldn’t move to them.
