Clemson, meanwhile, is four for 11 from the line and losing by three. That simple statement speaks volumes. For example, Terrence Oglesby got fouled on a three which would normally be catastrophic for most teams. In 'Nova's case it makes great sense though all three gimmes were canned.
Villanova shooting 77% in the second half. Harold Jensen took a break from his thriving accounting practice to lead the Wildcat charge.
Chalk it up for Arkansas. 86-72.
What a complete collapse by Clemson. In addition to their inability to accept charity they can't earn it either with one field goal in almost eight minutes. Basically the Tigers are the homeless mules of the college hoops world.
Villanova now up by eight. I don't think the tourney has had two 12-13 matchups in the second round before in the same year. This looks like it should be the first.
Clemson simply can't hit anything but at least they're only down by six. Normally I would suggest a hack-a-Shaq theory but it looks like Clemson will continue to self-destruct.
Terence Oglesby is 6 for 6 from the line. The rest of Clemson is 4 for 13.
Jay Wright just got T'D. Amazingly, Clemson could tie it on this possession.
But they miss (shocking!). 'Cats up two with two and a half left.
Huge basket by Rivers. Now Demontez Stitt goes to the line with a chance to tie it.
He does so. 66-all. 1:55 left.
James Mays fouled out away from the ball. He's the second Clemson starter to get the DQ.
Dante Cunningham puts 'Nova up two.
A bad pass by Ogelsby leads to a Raymond Sykes foul. Nova now up by four.
Oglesby misses a layup as Antonio Pena got in the way. Nova ball.
Rivers had a great look from three and missed. That might do it.
Oglesby is having a nightmare of a game. One for 11 from the field.
Rivers makes a three but barring a miracle, four double-digit seeds will have won in Tampa.
What a collapse. 75-69.
