Kris Jenkins' name will be forever remembered, etched in Final Four history beside the game's luminaries. NCAA Tournament heroes are born for unforgettable moments like the one Jenkins produced against North Carolina, burying a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Wildcats to title game victory. It was the first buzzer-beater in the championship game since Lorenzo Charles' monumental dunk in 1983.
Charles died tragically in a bus crash in 2011. An N.C. State legend, what he did for the Wolfpack in that '83 nail-biter over Houston continues to reverberate, today more than ever.
