Villanova downed Marquette at the last second today to move on to the semifinals. The 76-75 Wildcat win has been the most intriguing and suspenseful game of the BET thus far.

Despite going into haftime trailing by 16 points, the Golden Eagles outscored Villanova 44-29 in the second half, falling just short of a quarter final victory.

Trailing by one point with less than 10 seconds on the clock, Reggie Redding tried to find Scottie Reynolds who scored a game-high 21 points.

But Marquette’s defense held Reynolds to only three points in the second half, and they were not going to allow him to touch the ball with the game on the line.

Redding drove to the net, which resulted in Dwayne Anderson being left open in the paint. Anderson then made his first field goal of the game as time expired setting up a semifinal match up against Louisville in the next round.

The Wildcats are in hot pursuit of their first BET championship.
