Number 2 seed Villanova and number 1 seed North Carolina took to the floor on Monday night in the NCAA National Championship game. The show Villanova and UNC put on Monday night proved that both teams deserved to win the title. Villanova took a 10 point lead but UNC kept battling. Marcus Paige hit key shots, especially the off balanced, double- clutched, mid air 3-point shot with 4.7 seconds remaining in a tie game. North Carolina had to play defense for 4.7 seconds to force overtime. The unexpected happened. Kris Jenkins got the ball and took aim from near NBA range and fired. Game over. National Champions.
Being a Carolina fan, it was a heartbreaker to watch. After Paige hit the 3 to tie the game, I thought that the game would go into overtime. I was wrong. It was a heck of a shot by Jenkins on the biggest stage of his life. It was a great game to watch and has to go down as the best NCAA Title game ever!
That was I believe the best game ever in college basketball history. I was shocked when that Villanova player hit that game winning three with no time left on the clock. I was pulling for North Carolina to win it but I have to congratulate Villanova on having an excellent season.
