It’s already been dubbed the greatest title game in college basketball history, and for good reason. Villanova squared off against North Carolina for a shot at ultimate glory, and to win the 2016 NCAA D1’s College Basketball Championship.

The game from the beginning looked like it was gonna come down to the wire. Both teams showed why they deserved to be in the game. With around 13 seconds left, Villanova went up by three.

Barring a miracle three, Villanova will win it all. But then the impossible happened. Senior Marcus Paige dribbled up the court, fending off Wildcat defenders and put up a circus three pointer that found the bottom of the night. Villanova coach Jay Wright called timeout, and it looked like the game would be headed to overtime.

Had the game gone into OT, North Carolina, without a doubt, would have won the game. In any sports game that goes into overtime, the team that forced it to go into extra time would have the momentum and the advantage. For this case, the momentum was on the Tar Heels’ side. But right after Marcus Paige hit the game-tying three, Kris Jenkins for Villanova answered with one of his own.

With 4.7 seconds left, Ryan Arcidiacono drove the ball up the court, and fed the ball to Kris Jenkins, who pulled up to knock a three right as the buzzer sounded. The game ended, and the Villanova Wildcats are champions. Arcidiacono won Final Four Most Outstanding Player, and Kris Jenkins has one heck of a story to tell.

They knocked off the heavily favored, ACC Champion North Carolina Tar Heels. They showed that even a team from the Big East can hang with the ACC, Big 12, or even Big Ten. It’s a win-win for college basketball, as both teams featured no “one-and-done’s,” and Villanova, a small team compared to the powerhouse of the ACC, took home the trophy.

It makes sense. Coming into the National Championship game, Villanova was the more battle-tested team. They beat Kansas, arguably the favorite to win it all entering the tournament, and Buddy Hield-led Oklahoma Sooners, who was the hottest player in the tournament. On the other hand, North Carolina had to beat Notre Dame to get into the tournament, and then Syracuse in the semifinal. There’s a big difference between those two teams.

All season, Villanova was quietly tearing up the Big East, en route to a 2nd place finish in the Big East Tournament. They came into March Madness boasting a 29-5 record, and 16-2 in their conference, which is more than acceptable.

This roster never bragged deep NBA talent, but had great chemistry. Every player on the starting 5 but one were upperclassmen. They had much needed depth, and had a great coach leading them. Daniel Ochefu could get any rebounded needed. Arcidiacono was one of the purest sharpshooters in the country. Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins were great all-around players who sparked the offense on nights Arcidiacono couldn’t. Phil Booth and Jalen Brunson were underclassmen who gave the team youth, and Booth was great off the bench.

Don’t belive me? Off the bench Monday night, he dropped 20 points in 25 minutes on six of seven shooting from the field.

Villanova won a well-deserved National Championship. And they will look to defend that next year when they get their recruits, along with Hart and Jenkins, back to the title game.

Kris Jenkins capped off a wild NCAA Tournament filled with surprises. Middle Tennessee State knocked off Michigan State in the first round. Stephen F. Austin beat the West Virginia Mountaineers by beating their fast-paced defensive trap. Northern Iowa beat Texas on a half-court buzzer beater, only to lose in one of the worst ways to Texas A&M the next round. Those are just some of wild ways teams found a way to win in the tournament.

That’s March Madness for you.
