If you didn’t catch the NCAA Tournament’s national championship game Monday night, we’re very sorry.
What you missed was an incredible series of events at NRG Stadium in Houston. After North Carolina’s Marcus Page hit an improbable 3-pointer to tie the score with less than five seconds remaining, Villanova’s Kris Jenkins responded with a miracle shot at the buzzer to lift the Wildcats to their first national title in 31 years.
The thrilling finish capped off one of the best games we’ve seen in a long time, period. In fact, UNC-Villanova was so good that it begs the question: Was this the best NCAA championship game of all time?
From Texas Western’s historic win over Kentucky in 1966 to late-game heroics from the likes of Keith Smart and Mario Chalmers, Monday night’s game certainly has stiff competition. So, we decided to fire up the debate by ranking the seven best title games ever. Haters, inquire within.
