The Tar Heels found themselves up 5 points at half time, but the early part of the second half was all Villanova.   And so, with just 5 minutes left, North Carolina was down 10 points.    Then, as has happened so many times in this tournament, the comeback began.   Marcus Paige kept making basket after basket, including a remarkable three pointer with 4.7 seconds left to tie the game at 74.

And then it happened, Ryan Arcidiacono drives the ball up the court and to the three point line, passes the ball to a trailing Kris Jenkins, and with a few split seconds left on the clock, Jenkins calmly nails the three point shot to give the Villanova Wildcats a 77-74 victory, in what might be one of the best finishes that I have ever seen in a National Championship game!!!!!

Congratulations to the Villanova Wildcats, the 2016 men’s national champions!!!
