Kris Jenkins buried a buzzer-beating three-pointer to lift Villanova to a thrilling 77-74 upset victory over North Carolina in the NCAA Final to win the US college basketball championship in Houston on Monday (Tuesday AEST).
Jenkins' jump shot from distance soared through the hoop with no time left on the clock, five seconds after Marcus Paige had rattled in an off-balance heave from outside the arc for the Tar Heels to tie the game.
The victory gave Villanova a second NCAA Final Four title, adding to a 1985 upset victory over Georgetown.
