Scottie Reynolds wasn't interested in talking about his 27 points. The play he wanted to talk about after Villanova's seventh straight victory was an offensive rebound.

The 6-foot-2 guard was able to grab the rebound of a missed 3-pointer by teammate Reggie Redding as the shot clock expired before falling to the court and calling a timeout in the fourth-ranked Wildcats' 82-77 victory over No. 11 Georgetown on Sunday in Philadelphia.

"I'm not saying I'm great, but you see the great players come up with the big play, do whatever it takes - an offensive rebound, a dive on the floor, taking a charge," Reynolds said of his big play with 1:55 left and the Wildcats ahead 72-69. "It doesn't have to be a shot all the time."

Asked if he knew Villanova didn't have the possession arrow and that's why he called the timeout, Reynolds said with a sheepish grin: "Kind of. Now I'll say yes."

The Wildcats (16-1, 5-0) moved into a tie for first place in the Big East with No. 16 Pittsburgh.

Greg Monroe had 29 points and 16 rebounds for the Hoyas (13-3, 4-2).

•Zack Novak made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1 1/2 minutes left and Manny Harris followed with a layup to lift Michigan to a 68-63 victory over No. 15 Connecticut in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Harris had 18 points for the Wolverines (10-7), who earned the signature win they needed in a season they began ranked 15th, coming off their first NCAA tournament bid since 1998.

The Huskies (11-6) have lost three straight for the first time since closing the 2006-07 season with four losses.
