VILLANOVA-WVIRGINIA

No. 4 Villanova gets past No. 5 West Virginia
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.
Scottie Reynolds scored 19 of his 21 points in the final 13 minutes and No. 4 Villanova held off No. 5 West Virginia 82-75 on Monday night.

Villanova (21-2, 10-1) rebounded from a blowout loss at No. 7 Georgetown on Saturday to pull into a first-place tie with No. 2 Syracuse in the Big East.

West Virginia (19-4, 8-3) led only in the game's opening minutes, couldn't overcome an 11-point halftime deficit and saw its six-game winning streak snapped. The Mountaineers will have to wait until Friday night at No. 25 Pittsburgh to try for their sixth straight 20-win season.

Corey Fisher added 17 points and Antonio Pena had 10 for Villanova.

Darryl Bryant led five Mountaineers in double figures with 15 points. Devin Ebanks and Da'Sean Butler had 13 apiece.


NASCAR-DAYTONA-DANICA

Patrick to make NASCAR debut at Daytona
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
Danica Patrick is set to make her NASCAR debut this weekend at Daytona International Speedway.

The IndyCar star will drive the No. 7 Chevrolet for JR Motorsports in Saturday's second-tier Nationwide Series race.

The decision announced Monday to race at Daytona was made after team officials dissected her stock-car racing debut in the ARCA race at Daytona on Saturday. The team had left the option to race up to Patrick, who wanted to assess her first race before deciding whether to enter one of the most prestigious Nationwide races of the season.

Patrick overcame a midrace spin to finish sixth. She had been hesitant to make her debut at Daytona because of the top talent that race attracts.
