Watch the game-winning shot that will live on in March Madness memories for decades

In one of the craziest finishes in college basketball history, Kris Jenkins’s incredible buzzer-beating 3-pointer won the NCAA men's basketball national championship, clinching a 77-74 win for Villanova over the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Monday night’s championship game ended with a historic moment: the first buzzer beater in college basketball championship game history in more than 30 years.

With the clock running out, Jenkins took hold of the ball in thrilling fashion.

"We’re just trying to be legendary," Jenkins yelled after his game-winning shot during the NCAA Championship game. "Nobody believed in us but us. I think every shot is going in, and that was no different."
