Villanova’s Reynolds, Fisher won’t start opener

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Villanova guards Scottie Reynolds and Corey Fisher will not start in the NCAA tournament opener against Robert Morris.

A team spokesman says coach Jay Wright benched the pair as a “minor teaching point,” although they will play in Thursday’s game.

Reynolds leads the second-seeded Wildcats in scoring with 18.5 points a game and Fisher is second at 13.7. Reynolds and Fisher had started every game this season.
