It's Kris Jenkins' world, the rest of us are just living in it.
After North Carolina's Marcus Paige hit an absurd double-clutch 3-pointer to tie the game at 74 with 4.7 seconds left, the Villanova junior made sure the Big East got the last laugh.
In arguably the best finish in NCAA Tournament history, Jenkins took the feed from Ryan Arcidiacono and nailed a deep 3-pointer as time expired, giving the Wildcats their first national championship since 1985.
Rollie Massimino, the head coach of that title-winning team, was in attendance Monday and acted accordingly as the ball swished through the net.
