Villanova’s Ryan Arcidiacono ferociously made his way up the court.
His trailing teammate, Kris Jenkins, called out his name, caught a scoop pass from Arcidiacono behind the 3-point line and let it go.
At the buzzer, with the red light illuminated around the game clock, the basketball dropped, a dagger in the hearts of North Carolina coaches, players and fans.
Game over. Villanova was the new national champion, 87-84.
