College basketball fan re-enacts Kris Jenkins' tournament-winning shot using Legos

There won't be many sports finishes that can top the ending to last year's NCAA tournament, when Kris Jenkins drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give the Villanova Wildcats the national championship.

With this season's big dance just around the corner, college basketball fan Jared Jacobs re-created the moment using Legos and stop-motion animation. According to Jacobs, the project was a birthday present for his daughter, Jovie. She was born during a previous March Madness and correctly picked the Wildcats to win it all in 2016.

The video also features the play preceding Jenkins' heroics, when Marcus Paige of the North Carolina Tar Heels banked in a 3-pointer that tied the score.
