Top 25 March Madness heroes of all-time

The 2016 national title game may go down as the best in NCAA Tournament history. Not only did it feature an improbable champion in Villanova, but also one of the craziest final two minutes of basketball in the history of the sport.

North Carolina found itself down by six points with about 1:30 left to play when the Tar Heels hit a three to cut it to three, 70-67. After plenty of back-and-forth action and some fouls, the Tar Heels were down 74-71 with time ticking away under 10 seconds. Marcus Paige got the ball at the 3-point line, went up for the shot, double-clutched to avoid being swatted and made an incredible tying three.

With 4.7 seconds to go, Villanova’s Ryan Arcidiacono took the inbounds pass up the floor, turned to find the inbounder, Kris Jenkins, trailing and hit him for the open shot. What happened next was one of the greatest shots in college basketball history.

Jenkins drained the 3-pointer to give the Wildcats the national title at the buzzer as his teammates stormed the court and buried him faster than he could imagine. Jenkins finished the game with 14 and scored in double-figures in each NCAA Tournament game, but this shot is still goosebump-inducing.
