Villanova and Robert Morris are underway in the first round of the NCAA tournament at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. No. 15 seed Robert Morris is well represented in the stands, as hordes of Colonials fans made the trip out from Pittsburgh to see their team get smacked by No. 2 Villanova. Good for them. Villanova fans probably figured they can wait to go see the Wildcats in the Sweet 16.
Villanova guards Scottie Reynolds and Corey Fisher didn't start the game. Coach Jay Wright made the decision to teach them a lesson of some sort, according to ESPN.com. Not sure what they'll learn from sitting out the first few minutes of a game they'll win by 20, but hey, I'm no coach.

Go Colonials!
(Even though I have Villanova going to the final eight)
This game is terrible so far. Robert Morris just went up 19-11, but it seemed as if no one had scored in about half an hour.
I know (and they're calling way too many fouls) ... before this, they were showing Florida-BYU - that was a much faster game, good passing, more scoring.
Do you think Scott is getting nervouse yet, since he picked Villanova to win it all?
As annoying as early round coverage can be, with the constant switching from game to game, in this situation, I'm envious. Watching live is better than TV (even HDTV), but this game is not entertaining.
Gotta give it up to the Colonials, though. I'm sitting right behind their bench and it's obvious they're psyched to be here and loving the fact that they're beating mighty Villanova.
And their fans are having a good time, and keeping it clean. Not a lot of negativity coming from the red, white and blue folks.
It is fun to root for the underdog.
Steve would like to see Villanova get knocked out since he has St. Mary's beating them in the next round.
