With 12:33 left in the second half, Darryl Reynolds grabbed an offensive rebound off of a missed three-pointer from Josh Hart and hit him with a pass as the 2017 Big East Player of the Year made a cut to the middle of the lane and scored a lay-up to extend Villanova’s lead to 51-35. A timeout by Mount Saint Mary’s was called after that lay-up, but it wouldn’t stop the momentum of the Wildcats. With a strong second half performance, Villanova defeated Mount Saint Mary’s 76-56 Thursday night. Donte DiVincenzo led the Wildcats with 21 points, all coming off the bench, Jalen Brunson had 14, and Mikal Bridges added 13 points as Villanova cruised into the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
