Thrilling National Championship Game
Last night may have been one of the best National Championship games of all time. The game went back and forth the whole time. Most of the 2nd half, Villanova took control of the game. Every time North Carolina would get a basket to get back in the game, Villanova would answer right back. With the game winding down, Villanova had a double digit lead, and it looked like it was all over. North Carolina wasn't finished yet, they went on a little run of their own to be down by 3 with 13 seconds left. North Carolina inbounds the ball they take about 9 seconds off the clock, and then Marcus Paige went to take a three, then looked like he changed his mind mid way though the air. He realized it was to late to change his mind, so he took an off balanced shot, and it somehow went in. Right there you think in your head, how could this game get any better, I guess we will see how in overtime. Villanova had other plans though. If you are a Pitt fan you knew what was coming next, because back in 2009 in the Elite Eight against Villanova, the Pitt Panthers tied it up late seeming like it was going to overtime. It didn't, Villanova stand out, Scottie Reynolds took it all the way to the hoop with seconds left and got them the win.... So back to last night there are 4.7 seconds left, everyone is thinking overtime except for Jay Wright and Kris Jenkins. Ryan Arcidiacono took the ball down then passed it behind him to Jenkins, Jenkins shot the 3 and as it was in the air, Villanova's Coach, Jay Wright could be seen saying bang. That is exactly what happened, the shot beat the buzzer, and the Villanova Wildcats are the National Champions. It was a game for the ages, and I will never forget about it.

That was a great game and Villanova deserved to win that game. Was really shocked when Jenkins hit that game-winning three to win the National championship. Next year it will be Duke who will win it all.
