HOUSTON — They’re going to party like it’s 1985 after all.
These Villanova Wildcats finished off one of the most improbable and offensively insane NCAA tournament runs, culminating in a 77-74 win against North Carolina Monday night in the championship game at NRG Stadium.
Kris Jenkins' three-pointer at the buzzer lifted the Wildcats in one of the most thrilling championship games in tournament history.
The title is just the second in Villanova program history; the first, of course, belongs to the ’85 team that played the so-called Perfect Game to upset Georgetown in the championship game.
