BOSTON -- It was exactly what West Virginia wanted.
The Mountaineers had Villanova rattled with their pressure, Sagaba Konate had the block of the NCAA tournament against Mikal Bridges, and West Virginia took a six-point lead with 11:08 left in Friday's Sweet 16 game.
Villanova coach Jay Wright called timeout.
"I knew there was a lot of time," Wright said. "We just thought it was necessary at that time because they were getting on a good run. And I just wanted to make sure we kept our confidence and stayed committed to our game plan.
