SAN ANTONIO —Ten seconds before the end of the 2017-18 season, a member of the most unselfish team in college basketball committed a rare act of greed.
As Villanova’s Collin Gillespie prepared to receive an inbounds pass and dribble out the clock in Monday’s 79-62 victory over Michigan in the NCAA title game, teammate Donte DiVincenzo stepped in his path.
“I got this!” DiVincenzo said as he caught the pass and began trotting up the court. “I got it!”
Moments later, as the final horn sounded at the AlamoDome, DiVincenzo launched the ball toward the rafters and pumped his fists.
