Watch Villanova fans go crazy as Kris Jenkins hits title-winning shot (Videos)
The emotions of Villanova fans went from gut-wrenching to pure ecstasy.
On one end, North Carolina’s Marcus Paige tied the national championship game at 74 with a double-clutched 3-pointer with four seconds to go.
But Kris Jenkins brought the national championship trophy back to Villanova with a miraculous 3-pointer of his own as time expired.
Villanova fans in the Philadelphia area and across the country reacted accordingly:
It doesn’t get any better than that if you’re a sports fan.
And of course, the Villanova version of the game’s broadcast had a fantastic reaction.
Villanova student radio’s call was even better:
Not to be outdone, Rollie Massimino, the head coach for Villanova’s only other national title in 1985, made the trip to Houston from his home in Florida and was thrilled as well.
And back on the Main Line, students flooded the streets.
For comparison, here’s how Jenkins’ winner sounded on the North Carolina team stream:
The UNC faithful watching the game at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill went totally silent.
Brutal.
