After hitting the game-winning shot to beat Pittsburgh, Scottie Reynolds (center with black glove) celebrated with his Villanova teammates as the third-seeded Wildcats are headed to the Final Four after upsetting the top-seeded Panthers, 78-76, Saturday night.

As Scottie Reynolds’ game-winning shot trickled down through the nets Saturday night, my NCAA Tournament bracket was set ablaze.

Not literally, of course, but Villanova knocked out the team I picked to win the national title – Pittsburgh.

The Wildcats won, 78-76, on a driving Reynolds’ layup with 0.5 seconds remaining. Levance Fields flung a near full-court heave that had a good chance to go in, but it banged off the backboard at the buzzer.

Got to feel for the Panthers. They get past the Sweet 16, finally, and then fall to Villanova, but their style of play leaves little margin for error.

So going 21-of-29 from the free-throw line cost them the game. Villanova was nearly perfect from the charity stripe: 22-of-23.

Only two of my Final Four predictions are alive: Louisville and Oklahoma.

People rave about Michigan State's defense, but Louisville isn't too shabby at shutting down teams, either. Earl Clark and the Cardinals play relentless pressure defense.

Not worried about the Cardinals in Sunday’s Midwest Regional final against Michigan State. Sure the Spartans defend, but Louisville will speed the game up and eventually run away with it.

As for the Sooners, Blake Griffin has been the best player in the tournament, but North Carolina, with Ty Lawson looking healthy and playing even better, is the most talented team in the country.

Even so, Oklahoma is good enough to pull it off in the South Regional final Sunday. Then again, I thought Pitt and Washington would make it to the Final Four so what do I know?

Oklahoma's powerful power forward, Blake Griffin, is averaging 30.3 points, 14.6 rebounds and shooting a ridiculous 78.7 percent from the field so far in the NCAA Tournament this year. That's crazy.
