Despite a tough effort by the Coogs, they just weren't able to catch up to Villanova and fell 50-46.
Jermaine Samuels had 16 points and 10 rebounds as Villanova advanced to its third NCAA Final Four in the last six NCAA Tournaments with a grind-it-out 50-44 victory over Houston in the South Region final Saturday.
Caleb Daniels added 14 points for the Wildcats , and fifth-year senior Collin Gillespie’s only made field goal was a clutch shot late. With both teams willing to limit possessions, the first spot for this year’s Final Four in New Orleans was settled in a game that was ugly to watch with all the missed shots.
Villanova shot 28.8% from the field . The Cougars were only slightly better at 29.8% , missing their last five shots and 10 of 11 overall, and they made only one of their of 20 attempted 3-pointers. Taze Moore had 15 points and 10 rebounds for the Cougars , who were denied making consecutive Final Four appearances for the first time since 1982-84 during the Phil Slama Jama era. The starting five was completely changed from last season, including Moore and two other senior newcomers.
