MINNEAPOLIS — Kyle Guy kept tugging on the brim of his hat, as if he wanted to make sure he was really wearing it. He found teammate Ty Jerome on the confetti-covered court, and they put their arms around each other. With Jerome by his side, Guy took his hat off and read those golden letters again: 2019 NCAA MEN'S BASKETBALL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. He looked at the Virginia logo right beneath those words and smiled in disbelief. He shook his head and then put the hat right back where it belonged.
The junior from Indianapolis moved through the next few moments, the stuff of dreams, as if he were sleepwalking.
