Underdog Villanova Wildcats win 2016 NCAA Championship

Madness ends March Madness.

The no. 2 seed Villanova Wildcats beat no. 1 seed North Carolina Tar Heels on one of the most thrilling championship games in NCAA tournament history.

The Wildcats opened as the slight underdog with Oddshark.com setting Villanova at +2. North Carolina, a double-digit winner in each of their five games en route to the final, held a 39-34 half-time lead in their pursuit of a sixth championship title, but the Wildcats fought back, going on a 33-16 run to forge a 10-point lead with 5.29 minutes left.

The NCAA tournament comes to a dramatic close after Kris Jenkins sinked a game-winning three-point buzzer beater to lift Villanova over North Carolina, 77-74, in the NCAA men’s basketball championship game Monday night.
