It’s time to party like it’s 1985, Villanova Wildcats fans.
The Wildcats won their second men’s basketball national championship Monday night with a 77-74 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels, but that only came after an incredible ending you need to see to believe.
Villanova, the South Region’s No. 2 seed, had just lost all the momentum after a Marcus Paige 3-pointer, and overtime seemed inevitable.

But Kris Jenkins clinched the title for ‘Nova with an incredible 3-pointer of his own at the buzzer.

That. Just. Happened!
And now Paige’s miraculous shot for the East Region’s No. 1 seed will just be a footnote in Villanova’s 77-74 win.
