Villanova's Justin Moore set for MRI after leg injury in win over Houston in Elite Eight
Villanova guard Justin Moore suffered a right lower-leg injury in the final minute of Saturday's Elite Eight win over Houston.
Coach Jay Wright said X-rays revealed no broken bones but added that Moore will undergo further tests when the Wildcats return home.
"It's probably not good for Justin," Wright said. "We're going to get an MRI when we get back. But it's probably not good."

Financial 'jackpot' unlikely for cash-strapped Saint Peter's Peacocks despite generating NCAA tournament revenue
One of the most endearing facets of Saint Peter's NCAA tournament run is the proportional size of the school's athletic budget compared to the schools that it has slayed.
Saint Peter's has beaten No. 2 Kentucky, No. 7 Murray State and No. 3 Purdue, which is remarkable considering Saint Peter's spent $130 million less on athletics last year than Kentucky. Saint Peter's athletic director Rachelle Paul said the school's basketball operating budget, which does not include coaching salaries, is less than $250,000 and the lowest number, by far, in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
When No. 15 Saint Peter's plays No. 8 North Carolina for a chance at the Final Four on Sunday, a vexing question will loom for the MAAC and Saint Peter's going forward. How do they split up the spoils from Saint Peter's magical run?
NCAA tournament money math is wonky, but it's safe to estimate that Saint Peter's three wins in the tournament will mean a windfall of at least $6 million in additional money from the three extra NCAA units. That money is distributed to the MAAC over the next six years, and the league has autonomy as to how to distribute the money.
"I would like to see however it's distributed among the members of the MAAC, I'd like to see Saint Peter's get a little bit more," Paul said. "We're the ones doing this, quite frankly."
Paul added that Saint Peter's accomplishment and accompanying financial uptick are "unprecedented." MAAC commissioner Rich Ensor, who is a Saint Peter's graduate, acknowledges this but said there's unlikely to be a windfall headed Saint Peter's way.
Ensor said the ultimate decision on how to fairly compensate Saint Peter's is something that he'd have to "take up with my board," which is made up of MAAC presidents. Ensor said there's already a distribution system in place that allows for a "modest" slice of money for teams that have won in the tournament. The rest of the excess money is expected to be dedicated toward improving basketball in the league.
"I don't anticipate there's going to be a jackpot," he said of Saint Peter's. "[The presidents] could go in a different direction. It's really not my call. They tend to want to reinvest."

I don’t understand where this was from Miami and how do they all of a sudden show up/put it together now.

KU doing this while shooting 1-9 from 3p (11%) and 8-17 from FT (47%). Still hit Miami with a furious rally.
and there’s a 3. Man, KU can escalate things in a hurry. Canes look out of gas.

It’s 2-3 times a game now it seems - someone fouls a 3pt shooter.m. I know volume of 3pt has gone up but it seems like the stupidity in defending them has gone up exponentially.

Charlie Moore literally played in every power conference except the SEC and B1G, which is in spite of him growing up in the heart of B1G territory. His route was Pac-12 (Cal) - Big 12 (KU) - Big East (DePaul) - ACC (Miami). He also had been committed to Memphis at one point to round out the regional representation.
