JayVaughn Pinkston had 25 points and 10 rebounds and Darrun Hilliard scored 23 points, keeping No. 7 Villanova undefeated with an 82-77 overtime win over Syracuse on Saturday.
Boeheim’s pessimism aside, the current record stands at 6-3 and not the more disastrous 5-4 which would have meant watching La. Tech complete its comeback from 10 points down with 4:00 to play.
