Robert Morris vs Villanova – 12:30 Thursday, March 18th
NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament- First Round
Robert Morris +19 (-110)
Villanova -19 (-110)
Over/Under 148
The #15 seed Robert Morris Colonials face the #2 seed Villanova Wildcats in the first round of the South regional with tip-off slated for 12:30 Thursday, March 18th.
Robert Morris won their second straight Northeast Conference Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA’s with a two point 52-50 win over the number one seed, Quinnipiac.
Senior F Dallas Green saved the day when he blocked a potential game winning shot and then nailed two crucial free throws with seven seconds left to give the Colonials a four point lead. Freshman G Karon Abraham led the team with 16 points and Green and freshman F Russell Johnson each added nine more. Robert Morris has an overall record of 23-11 and went 15-3 in the conference after finishing the season winning seven out of their last nine games.
Abraham is the team’s leading scorer, averaging 13.4 points per game and Senior F Rob Robinson is averaging 9.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
Villanova comes into this game licking their wounds after losing six out of their final 10 games including a 66-68 OT loss to West Virginia in their final regular season game and a 76-80 loss to Marquette in their first Big East Tournament game. In the loss to the Mountaineers their top scorer, Senior G Scottie Reynolds went cold as ice from three point range; ending the night just 1 for 9. 
In the loss to the Golden Eagles he was held to just 10 points as junior G Corey Stokes stepped up and led the way with 22 points. If the Wildcats are to have chance of repeating last year’s Final Four appearance, Reynolds will have to regain the shooting form he displayed earlier in the year when they won 11 straight games and elevated themselves all the way to #2 in the country.
Villanova will also have to rely on junior G Corey Fisher and junior F Antonio Pena to elevate their game and eliminate the inconsistency that has plagued this team over their recent slide. If not, it could be a very short tournament for the Wildcats with teams like Baylor and Notre Dame standing in their path.
It is hard to know what to expect from Villanova in this first game. Even in their wins late in the season they have not looked all that sharp. The Colonials are scrappy enough to keep this one close late into the game giving them a great chance to cover the 19 point spread.
