Kris Jenkins lived out the dream of every kid who has ever touched a basketball. Prior to that moment, this was an all-time great game. Both UNC and Villanova came in white-hot with dominant tournament performances, especially in the Final Four, when both won their respective games by 15+ points. It was a clash of titans. All that hype leading into it set high expectations, and they were somehow exceeded. This game was a battle throughout, with both teams fighting tooth and nail to win this game. What you might not remember is Villanova took a 10-point lead with 5 minutes to go. The Tar Heels still found a way to claw back into it, culminating with Marcus Paige's insane double-clutch 3-pointer to send this legendary game into overtime. At least, that's what we thought would happen. In the final seconds: Jenkins shoots a 3 right before the final buzzer blares. After a second of anticipation, the shot goes in, cannons go off and everyone knows he hit the greatest shot in NCAA history.

“Jenkins for the championship” might be one of the most recognizable calls of all time, Ian Eagle is great and does a wonderful job, as seen this past weekend. But there was something about listening to Jim Nantz call the National Championship and then being in Augusta on Thursday

There’s only a handful of games in my life that take me right back to the exact time and place and the people I was with. This was in my NYC Union Square apartment on a Monday night. 25 years old and still close enough to college to live with 3 roommates (also all from college - UDel) and who also happened to be in the same Fraternity bracket and I was tied for the lead going in to this game. The other guy had UNC and when Marcus Paige hit that first 3 my roommates were destroying me and I was so pissed. They’re showing Jordan in the stands the place is going crazy I thought it was over. Then Archdiacono sets up Jenkins and when he rose up the entire motion of him shooting was in slow motion for me. I remember taking my shirt off and waving it around my head in pure euphoria it was glorious. Won the bracket on that shot. Stunned disbelief. Most underrated but incredible moment is Jay Wright immediately after just 🤷♂️ then🤝 to Roy Williams. The Nova Knicks - who knew?!

the exact scenario you pretend to be in playing basketball in the driveway. a buzzer beater to win a national championship. the alternate angle of jay wright saying "bang" as it left his hands is perfect. cant find a game thats much better than this. kris jenkins a march madness hero forever

When I was 11 I picked this Villanova to win it all and have been a diehard fan ever since. The buzzer beater with the confetti cannons sounding like gunshots is a moment I hope I never forget. They also beat my dad’s favorite team which is UNC so that added an extra layer to what was already the perfect game.

Best shot in CBB history. This game is head to toe with UConn Duke for best game of the decade. I personally liked the UConn game more due to the 19 point comeback and the broken play 35 ft game winner. But, you can’t not count a championship game who had one of the greatest game tying shots ever and the greatest game winning shot ever. I’m very picky about giving 10/10. The only 2 CBB games I can confidently give a 10/10 are this game and UConn Duke.
