Villanova hits 15 3s to knock off upstart North Texas 84-61

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) As Villanova rained down 3s on North Texas, it was as if the Wildcats were channeling their recent NCAA championship teams.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl scored 18 points, Jermaine Samuels Jr. had 15 and the Wildcats knocked down 15 3-pointers, emphatically ending the 13th-seeded Mean Green's bid for a second NCAA Tournament upset with a 84-61 victory Sunday night.

The fifth-seeded Wildcats (18-6) move on to the Sweet 16 to face top-seeded Baylor. Villanova will play the second weekend of the tournament for the third time in the last five. Coach Jay Wright's team won the whole thing the last two times it got this far in 2016 and '18.
