Scottie Reynolds knocked on the door of surpassing his career high of 27 points pretty loudly in Villanova's last two games, but stopped short by two points each time. The star freshman blew past that total on Wednesday night, and his Wildcats (20-9, 8-7 Big East) needed every one of his 40 points to knock off the Connecticut Huskies (17-12, 6-9) by a final score of 78-74 in what proved to be a difficult road contest.

The results are in: the Villanova Wildcats (22-10, 9-7 Big East) drew the ninth seed in the West bracket. On Friday, the ninth-seeded 'Cats will travel to Chicago to play against the Kentucky Wildcats (21-11, 9-7 SEC East). Head Coach Jay Wright said after the Selection Show festivities that he is thrilled with the opportunity to play against Kentucky, but also acknowledged that the match-up won't be an easy one, especially with Kentucky Head Coach Tubby Smith on the other side.

As I gazed out the window on my flight to the NBA All-Star Game, all I could see was darkness. I figured we were over some clouds or too high up to see the ground, but soon, a bright light in the distance proved me wrong. The plane approached the brightness, and the spot grew until it looked as though it were an island of light surrounded by the darkness of the desert. (1) comment

Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood once struck out 20 hitters in a single game. The same Kerry Wood recently injured himself in an unfortunate accident in which he slipped and fell on his chest in a hot tub. Wood apparently was able to retire almost seven innings worth of batters with strikes, but he was not capable of entering a 3-foot tall Jacuzzi safely. (0) comments
I don't like the NBA. Big deal, you say. A lot of people don't. NBA stars brush off the fundamentals. (Insert joke about traveling and frequent flier miles here.) Defense is nonexistent, and every single player is more selfish than an entire season's worth of "My Super Sweet Sixteen" kids. (0) comments
Before getting into this week's predictions, we have a few quick side notes. First, in last Friday's edition of USA Today, there was a graphic depicting America's most commonly owned pets. "Reptiles" were on the list, represented by a frog silhouette. Mascotology knows better than that: frogs are amphibians, not reptiles. (0) comments
In Dante We Trust Lately, the success of sophomore forward Dante Cunningham has been consistent, regardless of whether or not Villanova comes out on top. A problem with Villanova's offense has been its inability to get Cunningham the ball. The Wildcats have lost only one game in the 13 contests in which he has attempted more than five field goals.

MEN'S RANKINGS 1. No. 12 Georgetown: 20-5 (10-2) An easy remaining schedule and the advantage of playing their matchup against Pitt in D.C. make the Hoyas look like the favorites to win the Big East regular season title. (Previous rank: 2) 2. No. 8 Pittsburgh: 24-4 (11-2) The Panthers barely got past Seton Hall without star center Aaron Gray. (0) comments
Can the Phillies meet the Mets ... beat the Mets? Philadelphia Phillies fans have reasons to be excited this spring as their beloved Phils head into spring training with new, old and young faces primed to lead the team in baseball's toughest division, the NL East. (0) comments
In their opening series of this season, the Wildcats traveled to Norfolk, Va., where they battled the Spartans of Norfolk State in a three game series.

Saturday's showdown with the No. 23 Rutgers Scarlet Knights appeared to be a mismatch from the start. The women's basketball team entered the game looking for a victory to end its 10-game losing streak. Unfortunately for the 'Cats, the Scarlet Knights rolled to a 62-32 victory at the Pavilion.
