Villanova is headed to its third Final Four in the past six NCAA Tournaments, but at a cost: an injury to Justin Moore.

The junior shooting guard went down with a right leg injury in the closing seconds of the team's South Region Championship against the Houston Cougars on Saturday. 

Coach Jay Wright told reporters after the game that X-rays didn't reveal any broken bones, but he failed to express much optimism for his player beyond that.

"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."

Moore, who has averaged 13.6 points per game for the Wildcats during the NCAA Tournament, appeared to slip while dribbling against a defender with less than 40 seconds left in Saturday's game. 

Moore limped off the court with the help of his teammates, who were later seen consoling him following his exit from the game.

He was later seen on crutches during the Wildcats' postgame celebration.

"A lot of our guys ran right over to him because we're not in the position we are without him," Villanova guard, and fifth-year senior Collin Gillespie told reporters after the game. "So we just wanted to go over to him and just appreciate what he does for us and know that we got his back."
