Point Guard
Villanova's Scottie Reynolds
Jr., 6-2, 195
Stats: 15.7 ppg, 3.3 apg
Expect to see Reynolds' floater with 0.5 seconds left against Pitt in the One Shining Moment montage. But despite his heroics, and 12.5 points per game in the tournament, Reynolds is still shooting 34.6 percent from the field in his last two games. :scared The way his counterpart is playing, cold-shooting could be costly.
North Carolina's Ty Lawson
Jr., 5-11, 195
Stats: 16.3 ppg, 6.5 apg, .485 three-point percentage
Reynolds may have the tourney's defining moment, but Lawson may be its defining player to this point. After missing the first round with a bum toe, Lawson has averaged 20.3 points and 6.6 assists in three games, hitting 7 of 11 threes and committing just two turnovers. His speed off the dribble alone makes him a tough defensive assignment, but the way he's shooting makes him that much scarier.
EDGE: North Carolina

this could be the game winner right here.
I have not liked Reynolds game for quite awhile. I do not trust him to step up in a game like this.
On the other hand, Lawson with another week to heal his toe could be unstoppable.
