(12) Villanova 60, (19) Michigan 55

Brooklyn, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - JayVaughn Pinkston put Villanova ahead and then kept it in front.

Pinkston, who was called for an offensive foul with 31 seconds remaining after powering into Derrick Walton on the right block, barreled into a flopping Caris LeVert. Pinkston then went up and nailed the short jumper to give the Wildcats a 56-55 edge. Michigan had seven seconds on the clock after Walton was stripped, and Spike Albrecht fed a cutting Irvin down the paint. Pinkston met him at the rim and emphatically swatted his shot away. Ryan Arcidiacono made a pair of foul shots with four ticks to play and Max Bielfeldt tossed the ensuing inbounds away. Arcidiacono then hit two more free throws to seal the outcome. Dylan Ennis netted 15 points, while Pinkston finished with eight points and nine rebounds for Villanova (5-0), which outscored VCU by 22 points in the second half en route to a 77-53 win in the semifinals Monday.
