Villanova 77, North Carolina 74 | Last-second 3-pointer secures national championship

The Villanova Wildcats are national champions after Kris Jenkins swished a 3-pointer at the buzzer to beat North Carolina 77-74 in one of the great NCAA title games of all time.

North Carolina's Marcus Paige had just tied it for the Tar Heels when he adjusted in the air and rattled home a game-tying 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left to make it 74-all.

For Villanova, it is its first national title since 1985, when the Wildcats shocked Georgetown.
