NCAA title-game hero Kris Jenkins says he will withdraw his name for the NBA draft and will return to Villanova for his senior season.
The 6-foot-6 forward made the announcement Monday night on his Twitter account, and the school confirmed the decision in a statement.
It was a good experience going through this process but I'm looking forward to focusing on graduating next year and becoming a great leader.

Jenkins' buzzer-beating 3-pointer dramatically lifted Villanova past North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament championship game and gave the Wildcats their second-ever national title.
