GUARD TANDEM LEADS VILLANOVA TO '09 TITLE

Believe everything you've read about Scottie Reynolds and Corey Stokes. The Villanova guards scored 21 and 18 points, respectively, and led the Wildcats past Mississippi 79-67 to claim the 2009 O'Reilly Auto Parts Puerto Rico Tip-Off title. Antonio Pena added 17 points and 16 rebounds for Nova, who looked like early favorites to win the Big East championship. We're looking forward to 2010 already, when a new cast of teams--led by North Carolina--will ring in Year 4.
