Villanova's Arcidiacono named Final Four MOP

HOUSTON -- Ryan Arcidiacono grew up outside of Philadelphia as a Villanova fan and then played more games than anyone ever has for the Wildcats.

In his last game, with his last pass, he became a national champion and Final Four MVP.

The unselfish point guard was dribbling toward the basket with the clock winding down and defenders closing in when he heard Kris Jenkins screaming at him from behind.

Arcidiacono then passed the ball to his open teammate, whose 3-pointer beat the buzzer for a 77-74 victory over North Carolina on Monday.
