Eric Paschall had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and the 2016 national champions beat Texas Tech 71-59 in a cold-shooting East regional championship on Sunday to reach the Final Four for the second time in three years. After starting four guards, Texas Tech (27-10) grabbed just 33 boards and shot just 18 free throws compared to 35 for Villanova and lost its chance to play for a championship in its home state. “That’s why I give Texas Tech credit, they did a great job,” Wright said. Every Villanova team I’ve been on has been like that,” Brunson said. Texas Tech made only two baskets from there.
