As the Villanova Wildcats hung to a precarious 63-60 lead over the West Virginia Mountaineers in the 2018 Sweet Sixteen, it was time for Omari Spellman to make a play.
West Virginia came down the floor starting to unravel a bit after playing 30 excellent minutes against Spellman and the Wildcats. A Mikal Bridges three on the previous possession gave ‘Nova its first lead in quite some time in the back and forth second half. Spellman, however, would make sure the lead would stick. As Mountaineers guard James Bolden put up a mid-range jumper, the Villanova big man swatted it away with a ferocious spike block.
