Villanova's bench comes up big in win over UConn to reach Big East final
A sold-out Garden was rocking like it used to in March — pre-realignment — as two old rivals met in an electric atmosphere that may have featured two second-weekend teams. Ultimately, No. 2 Villanova reminded everyone it still controls this league, outplaying the third-seeded Huskies for the majority of the second half and advancing to Saturday night’s Big East Tournament title game with a 63-60 semifinal victory.
On the other end of the floor, Sanogo found himself frequently on more mobile forward Jermaine Samuels, who torched him for 19 points and 11 rebounds. This game was about the other guys for Villanova. In addition to Samuels, Brandon Slater had 15 points after sinking the game-winning free throws against St. John’s in the final seconds the previous night.
