The 77^th NCAA Tournament was one for the books. Not only did this years’ tournament consist of outrageous upsets, which busted everyone’s bracket, and insane buzzer beaters, but also had the addition of the most exciting and enthralling championship game since 2011, when the tournament field was expanded to 68 teams.

This years’ championship game was a battle between the Villanova Wildcats and the almighty North Carolina Tar Heels. A majority of people strongly believed North Carolina was too big down low for Villanova to handle. The game was a tail of two halves however, which ended up leaving North Carolina speechless. In the first half, North Carolina out hustled, out executed, and out played Villanova to take a lead at halftime. However, to start the second half Villanova kicked it into gear, and took a lead and control of the game, up until the last 30 seconds when Marcus Paige hit an insane 3 to tie the game up! So with 4 seconds left, Villanova inbounded the ball to the one and only white player who saw minutes in the NCAA tournament final, and was somehow the Final Four MVP. He dribbled the full length of the court and dished off to his teammate Kris Jenkins, who would go on to hit the first buzzer beater in an NCAA tournament championship game since Lorenzo Charles buzzer beating dunk in 1983.

Since 2011 and the reclassification of teams involved, there has been five very competitive, exciting final match-ups, but none compared to what hopefully most everyone witnessed in 2016! We may not see another buzzer beater in an NCAA title game for 100 years! So soak this years’ game up and never forget that I picked Villanova from the start!
