An account of the game exists, courtesy of Rivals.com:
Reynolds, one of the best shooters in his class, lived up to his reputation. The 6-foot-1 rising junior guard lit it up from deep and had little trouble of getting to the basket off the dribble any time he wanted. Just when you think he's going to score every time he touches the ball, he'll run the point efficiently. Reynolds had 23 points in the win . . . The final score was Boo Williams 87, D.C. Blue Devils 70. And in the story, Reynolds' first name was spelled "Scotty."
Durant's teammate Tywon Lawson had perhaps his toughest game of the tournament despite scoring 14 points. The 6-foot rising junior has been one of, if not the best, point guard at the event but he struggled to find his shot and Boo Williams' defense was too smothering to get anything done.
Fast-forward to now; fastforward, perfect. Five years later, after the NCAA Tournament's East Regional final, after everything, Reynolds was saying the other day, "My head is still spinning. I just want to put on a different body right now. I don't want to be me."
That was before he arrived at the Final Four. There were five or six reporters talking to him then in the Villanova practice facility. They were reviewing the frenetic, physical shot in the lane that Reynolds hit last Saturday night to win the Pittsburgh game and deliver the Wildcats to the Final Four. It was all a bit much, he said.
Well, five or six reporters are now more than 50 times that big. Ford Field is a basketball cavern, better suited to bad football than a college basketball tournament. For Villanova, a national semifinal awaits tomorrow night against North Carolina.
